National children’s hospital Bill
Bernard Durkan sought progress on the national children’s hospital legislation and planning application. The Taoiseach said the timeline was being followed and promised an update.
On promised legislation, I inquire as to progress on the national children's hospital Bill, an issue I raised on 19 January, 26 February, 3 April, 15 May and on several other occasions. To what extent has progress been achieved in the preparation of the application for planning permission, etc?
Comment on this
The fact that the Deputy has raised this issue on so many occasions has not resulted in a defined date, but there is a timeline set. The segments of that timeline are all being followed through on. I will bring the Deputy up to date on the Bill.
