Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I am answering the Deputy's question. I am simply saying that in the public interest. There are lots of agendas here. I am not talking about the Deputy now. I am talking about the cost of this. We must protect, as best we can, the taxpayer. I never gave a date on this. The reason I did not give a date is that I am aware of the tensions between the contractor and the hospital development board, which have been there for a number of years. There is no secret about that. There is a way to deal with this and it is not in the public glare of big grandstanding statements-----
