I propose to take Questions Nos. 443 and 444 together.

Expenditure on the construction of the new children’s hospital and associated outpatient and urgent care centres up to the end of December 2017 was €127.79m. The European Investment Bank is providing a loan of €490 million to Ireland to support the project. This represented 50% of the capital cost estimate in 2017 in respect of this project, which was €983m.
