Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The issue is what we do about it now. I do not believe, having read this report, that we can reduce the cost of building a national children's hospital by retendering at this stage. I know Deputy Wallace has been consistent in contesting that and I respect his view. PwC specifically tries to deal with this issue in the report. When the Deputy tells me that when we pay money for consultants to do a professional job, we expect them to do it properly, I would respond that I expect PwC to have done this review properly.
