Donohoe: Spending ‘re-profiling’ won’t delay major projects

Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe has continued to claim that “no major projects will be delayed” and no promised services will be cut due to the children’s hospital financial black hole, despite opposition anger over €99m in spending “re-profiling”.

Mr Donohoe denied the Government will be forced to cut back on a series of planned measures as he again accepted partial blame for what happened and admitted: “We have had a very big issue with this project”.
