Will the Tánaiste indicate to the House the extent to which the preliminaries in respect of the new national children's hospital have been progressed, whether the establishment legislation is likely to be brought before the House at an early date and whether the planning and all of the other preliminary work have concluded? Will she make a statement on the matter?

As the Deputy knows, planning permission has been granted for the long-awaited national children's hospital. The Minister will bring the heads of the Bill that is necessary to progress the project to the Cabinet in November.
