When will the Dolphin report into the location of the new children’s hospital be published? When does the Taoiseach expect a decision on the matter and has the process been changed to allow the Tánaiste to add his own file?

Ar reachtaíocht atá forógraithe, when will the finance, local property tax Bill be published? I refer to the Bill to provide for the introduction of the property tax to which Fianna Fáil signed up with the troika. The Taoiseach might be aware that the Irish League of Credit Unions indicated that 1.8 million citizens have less than €100 at the end of each month.

We will have a debate on the Bill when it comes before the House.

I appeal to the Taoiseach to withdraw the proposal.

The property tax Bill will be published on budget day or thereabouts. I have already outlined the process for the national children’s hospital. The Dolphin report will be available once the Government has made its decision on the national children’s hospital, which will be made by Cabinet after the Minister for Health makes his recommendation. I hope the matter can be dealt with and concluded within two weeks. I accept I said that approximately ten days ago but some clinical issues needed to be clarified. I hope we will see a conclusion to the issue in the next two weeks when a decision will be made by Cabinet and the Dolphin report can then be published.

To clarify, will the Dolphin report only be published after the Government has made its decision?

Yes.

Okay.
