Charles Flanagan (Laois, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is absolutely not the case that there has been any delay in the forensic science laboratory due to overruns at the national children's hospital, as the Deputy alleged. I assure him and the House that the forensic science laboratory is one of the major capital priorities of the Government.

It is proceeding in accordance with the funds available.
