The number of new Covid-19 cases in Ireland has risen over the last five days.
Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform Michael McGrath has expressed concern over the progress of the National Children s Hospital project to Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly.
In a letter to Mr Donnelly last month, obtained by RTÉ s Morning Ireland under Freedom of Information, Mr McGrath points out that since July of last year the Government has been waiting for a definitive update on the project from the Department of Health and the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (NPHDB).
The NPHDB is responsible for overseeing the building of the new hospital.
Mr McGrath said the lack of an update gives cause for concern , adding that an options paper that has been in development by the NPHDB for some time has not materialised and clarification is urgently required .
