Children's hospital establishment Bill
Deputy O'Reilly sought an update on the long-delayed children's hospital establishment Bill and its heads. Deputy Donohoe said the issue would be discussed later that evening and that the heads would be available at the end of April.
I ask for an update on the new children's hospital establishment Bill. This legislation has been a long time coming. According to the list of priority legislation, the heads of the Bill were due early in 2017. Clearly, that has passed so I ask for an indication of when they will be published, particularly in light of the fact that we will be discussing this issue in the House this evening.
Comment on this
The matter will be discussed tonight via a Private Members' motion tabled by Deputy Mattie McGrath and others. In answer to the Deputy's question, I understand that the heads of that Bill will be available at the end of April.
