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

Róisín Shortall (SD), Dublin North-West

The Minister’s agreeability is welcome, but the reality is that all of the indications are that the Cabinet will sign off on this project or deal next Tuesday. The Minister has accepted that we have a point, that there is confusion and there are problems associated with this phrase. He is saying he is prepared to provide a definition of that to the committee and he will send us a note on it. Why then would he not include a definition in the legal documents? That could be done in a matter of minutes. Would he regard that as a substantial change to the legal documents?
