Yesterday the Taoiseach chided members of the Opposition for indicating that capital projects might be delayed as a result of the total mismanagement by the Government of the national children's hospital project.

I want to ask the Taoiseach about comments made in a radio interview in County Donegal by his Cabinet Minister, Deputy Joe McHugh, where he indicated that a number of community hospital projects would be delayed as a result of the national children's hospital mismanagement, namely projects at Carndonagh, Ramelton, St. Joseph's and Lifford community hospitals. Can the Taoiseach clarify today whether the Minister, Deputy McHugh, is correct that those projects will be delayed, or if the position has changed with regard to those areas?
