€3m to be cut from flood relief schemes after children's hospital overrun

Flood relief schemes valued at €3m will be cut and delayed to help pay for the overrun for the national children's hospital, OPW Minister Kevin Boxer Moran has said.

The Finance Committee also heard today that construction costs for the refurbishment of Leinster House-where the Dail and Seanad sit-will exceed the original €15m because of “unforeseen works”.
