National Maternity Hospital: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2022-05-12
============================================================

Duncan Smith (LAB), Dublin Fingal

The Labour Party leader, Deputy Bacik, made clear again on Leaders’ Questions today our position on this, particularly in regard to CPO, which is an area I would like to focus on at the start of my contribution. Since this project was announced in 2013, we have had four separate Ministers for Health and three separate Attorneys General. What I would like to know is how many of those Ministers sought advice from how many of those Attorneys General, given there is overlap between the various roles, with regard to submitting a CPO for that land? Was there one ask or two asks? Did the Minister, Deputy Donnelly, ask? Did the Minister, Deputy Harris, ask? How many advices came back?
