Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy has raised three specific projects in his constituency. I do not have in front of me the schedule indicating when they will start but I will ask the Minister for Health to provide the Deputy with a detailed reply. I did not hear the Minister's comments but I can confirm that there are those around the country trying to make out that any time a project is delayed, even one that does not yet have planning permission, it is because of the overrun on the children's hospital. That is, of course, false. It is not right that people should be so disrespectful of their constituents to make those kinds of claims.
