Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 February 2019
86. Deputy Michael Harty asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if overruns at the national children’s hospital will not result in cuts to Office of Public Works funding earmarked for urgent flood mitigation measures; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7574/19]
View answerArising from the Government decision of Tuesday 12th February 2019 in relation to capital reallocations related to the cost overrun on the National Children's hospital, the Office of Public Works is reviewing the most appropriate means of achieving the required capital savings of €3 million in the flood risk management area. Expenditure on any particular project or programme in any year is dependent on many variables related to the progress of the project and programme. The OPW can state that all capital projects committed to will be delivered.
