Children's hospital location

Summary

The exchange focused on the proposed children's hospital, with Senator Mullen criticising waste and arguing for the right hospital in the right place. The Leader insisted the hospital must be built for children and parents who need it.

Senator Buttimer should tell that to the Jack and Jill Foundation. Taxpayers are worried about hundreds of millions of euro. It appears we are back in the Celtic tiger days of waste and there has been no debate about it.

Please allow the Leader to continue without interruption.

People like Jimmy Sheehan do not have vested interests.

I have met them all. I have heard everybody. What we must do is build a hospital. Let us get it done for the children and parents who require it.
