I support my colleagues who have spoken about the cost of the national children's hospital. It has been a talking point all weekend. A lot has been left untold and we are getting leaks of information here and there. There is no accountability.

All of the information is available. The Senator needs to stop giving out false information.

One at a time, please, Senator.

Nobody wants to take responsibility. There are capital projects in my area such as the Holy Angels school for children with disabilities which has been waiting for 40 years for funding to move its children out of prefabs. Will it get funding this year or will it be one of the projects that will be left again for another 20 years without being undertaken?

The Senator is scaremongering.

For three years there has been no overnight respite care service in Carlow. While we are told that the preparations for it are nearly finished, there are problems as to whether there will be bus services, how many nights it will be open or what will happen in the long term. What will be the effect of this? It is unacceptable that the Taoiseach and Ministers launch and relaunch projects all the time, but we do not know what will happen to these projects. I am calling on the Minister and the Taoiseach to come here to explain to us exactly what is going to happen with capital projects.
