In recent weeks, the issue of the national children's hospital has been back in the news, with more rumours of an increased overspend. There were a number of Government proposals to address the issue of overspend in capital projects and a number of Private Members' Bills are on, or waiting to go to, Second Stage. I ask the Taoiseach to sit down with some Opposition Members who have such Bills. I have one myself, namely, the Regulation of Tenderers Bill 2019. Can we move the issue forward to ensure we are never again in a situation where we face massive overruns in capital projects?
