And it looks like the children’s hospital will open in the 2030s aswell 👍🏻

So really doubts grow that hospitals can be built on budget and on time OR governments plan to build hospitals in 2030 set to cost taxpayer trillions into 2040

Hmmm…didn’t she proclaim only yesterday that there is no point in hiring more surgeons if they have nowhere to operate? That infrastructure needs to be prioritised?
I am so confused……

But the track record has been so good before.

They dangle important projects in front of the electorate, get some good will and then screw them after the government gets what they want

I hate how IT is using soft language on government failings. The headline would be a lot more damning if it read „before 2040“ which is, in essence, the same heading.
It manipulates the wording to benefit the government.

Doubts grow? Did anyone actually believe that when it was first proposed??

If we start now, they *might* be ready for 2040 for the cheap cheap price of €50 billion

This is more ragebaiting from Sinn Fein.
The NDP expenditure system is deliberately designed to have ‚gates‘ : analysis points at which value for money and suitability are assessed. This was brought in to prevent disasters like the Children’s Hospital from re-occurring.
Projects are analysed for suitability, accepted, and initially funded for design and then tendering. Only once tendering is complete and a final *price* is available can they go through the ‚value for money‘ gate and secure ringfencing of the final funding from the NDP pool.
Sinn Fein are claiming that not all of the projects under consideration will have enough funding. Correct – they won’t, and some of them will not proceed because they will fail one of the gates.
None of the NDP pools (health, transport, grid, etc.) have enough funding to finish every single project under consideration, because they won’t all make it. And *no-one* can definitively point to any single project and confirm that it will defiitely complete, because it has to go through the gate processes first.
The four elective hospitals are high priority for securing funding from the NDP pool, and are also well-advanced. Design and site selection started in early 2024, and it’s expected that site work planning applications will be submitted for Cork and Galway in the next month or so.

Infrastructure is the primary function of government- if you can’t get it done resign.

As long as the right people make money out of consultancy, planning and legal issues related to these phantom hospitals then that’s all good because that’s what we voted for !! Am I right ?
