Inside Politics: Children’s Hospital saga rolls on, while TDs don’t hold back in their support for Palestine

Photograph: Brian Lawless/PA WireMinister for Health Stephen Donnelly will take to his feet in the Dáil chamber this afternoon with a tricky task on his hands.
Which brings us back to today. Having read about this war of attrition between Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, the Opposition want answers. Donnelly will have to reassure patients that they are not in for a winter of misery, while also explaining where hundreds of millions of euro in savings will be made. He will have to defend his own Ministerial record while also admitting defeat in budget talks.
As Horgan-Jones reports, it will take several more months to finish fitting out and commissioning, “raising the very real chance that no children will be treated in the hospital before the next general election, which must be held by March 2025.” It won’t be long, so, until Donnelly will have to bring a new memo to Cabinet looking for more money. And Ministers won’t want to grant an open-ended cheque. Sooner or later, the final figure will have to emerge.
