Vote for the Health Service Executive 2005-06: Statements. (26 Jan 2006)

Liz McManus: The Minister has not answered the question which has been asked by several Deputies. Why was the money not spent on the capital programme? What was lost as a result? Where was the money spent, which is almost equivalent — the Tánaiste is simply playing with words at this stage — to the amount overspent on the revenue, or the day to day expenditure side. On what was it spent? Why was...

Vote for the Health Service Executive 2005-06: Statements. (26 Jan 2006)

Liz McManus: Yesterday the clear impression was given that money would be transferred from the capital budget to a day to day spending budget but the Minister has said this is not true. Can she guarantee the sum of €56 million will carry over from last year to this year's capital programme? That is important because the money is desperately needed.

It is clear the...
