Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The IMF report, to which the Deputy is referring, the public investment management assessment, PIMA, report, only came in the latter stages in considering the national children's hospital that we are debating. I have not yet got to the place where we are receiving quarterly reports on key projects. What we will have instead on my Department's website is a capital project tracker which will update the House and citizens on where different projects stand in their life-cycle, whether they are at construction, planning or tender stage, indicating, for example, the phase of construction. The tracker is online and available for everybody to see. We hope to launch the tool the week after next and I am aiming to use it as a way of letting people know what is happening on very important projects.

Obviously, there are other recommendations made in the PcW report that, when implemented by the Minister, Deputy Harris, and me, should help to prevent an issue like this from developing again.
