Episode Details

Sinn Féin criticizes government for spending €127,000 on a bike shelter at University Hospital Kerry, labeling it a vanity project amidst health service recruitment freezes and a €250 million overspend. They highlight past failures like the €336,000 Leinster House shed and €90,000 for Holles Street maternity hospital, while cheaper Kerry options were rejected. Pearse Doherty accuses the government of arrogance and waste, while Minister Helen McEntee defends the shelter as compliant and promoting cycling for staff. The committee investigates rejected options, but the government touts successes like the €3 billion broadband plan and on-time, on-budget hospital expansions.
