Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Government will build the national children's hospital after decades of debate and get to the bottom of what has gone wrong. We will ensure that lessons are learned. We will not walk away from this vital project, however. Sinn Féin walks away. It walked away from the health ministry in Northern Ireland when it held that position. Sinn Féin might quit but quitting is not in my DNA. Walking away is not an option.
