It is now clear the debacle of the national children's hospital spending overrun is having a devastating effect on many projects around the country. Kerry has already been hit. A sewerage scheme requested and promised for 15 years has again been put back until next year. The problem is that the pipes are to be laid along the road from Kilcummin to Killarney and the road cannot be reinstated until that has been done. Thousands of cars use this road daily. Does the Government have any shame for blackguarding the people of Kilcummin? This is clearly happening because the Government was asleep at the wheel in controlling spending at the national children's hospital.

Deputy Danny Healy-Rae's time is up. We will get an answer for him.

As a result, the people of Kilcummin are being adversely affected.

Whatever about the needs of the people of Kilcummin in respect of a new sewerage scheme, it is a bit of a stretch to try to connect that with the building of the national children's hospital.

That is what has happened.

The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform has outlined on many occasions how the increased spending planned for next year will be accommodated. I do not think it has anything to do with a sewerage scheme in County Kerry.

The Tánaiste is wrong.
