We have the opportunity of a lifetime to build and have the best national children's hospital in Europe on our doorstep and we should embrace it. I know costs will be a factor as we go along. I am not here to talk about that at the moment because the cost details are set out in the business case and that information will be brought to Government in the coming weeks. That is the only answer I can provide on the costs. If that is not acceptable, we will have to start again. I would urge the Senators - we work in the same constituency - to come behind this and make it work because it will change the face of Dublin 8 for the next century.
