Budget Process
Dail Éireann — 2024-05-02
============================================================

Peadar Tóibín (AON), Meath West

We know that over Christmas the Minister and the Minister for Health, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, had a ferocious argument over the health budget. We also know there are significant tensions currently between the Minister's Department and other Departments. Some of these tensions concern overspends by those other Departments. Can the Minister give us information about where these difficulties arise, where the overspends are happening and which Departments are engaging the Minister?
