Govt accused of hiding true scale of €99m cutbacks caused by children's hospital crisis

The Government has been accused of deliberately hiding the true scale of the €99m capital projects budget cutbacks caused by the children's hospital crisis after failing to detail the exact areas now on the chopping block.

Opposition parties lashed out after Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe and Health Minister Simon Harris stopped short of providing any clear, grassroots information on which projects will be targeted.
