Decision on Children's Hospital soon - Taoiseach

He said the location of the hospital would be the result of a Government decision.

Fianna Fáil Leader Micheál Martin said the information compiled by the Tánaiste's office on the possible hospital locations highlighted a break down in trust between the Government parties.

However, Mr Gilmore has insisted he and other Labour ministers have trust in Dr Reilly.

He admitted, though, that officials in his office did gather information on the possible locations for the new children's hospital.

Mr Gilmore said this is done to keep him informed and it happens ahead of all major Government decisions.

He said the Dolphin Report is imminent and once the Government has it, it would then sit down to pick the location.

He denied that the information gathered by his staff was "a parallel report" to Dolphin.

Earlier, Minister for Education Ruairi Quinn also rejected reports of a rift between Labour ministers and Minister for Health James Reilly.

Mr Quinn said that relations were good and that Minister Reilly had a difficult job to do.

He was responding to a story in today's Irish Independent suggesting that Eamon Gilmore was carrying out his own research into the location of the new National Children's Hospital.

Mr Quinn said he did not know anything about that and said Mr Gilmore should be asked that himself.

He said a decision on the new hospital would be made by the Cabinet in the next few weeks.

Fianna Fáil Health Spokesman Billy Kelleher claimed that the Tánaiste no longer has confidence in Minister Reilly.

Mr Kelleher said it was obvious that Mr Gilmore was no longer willing to take the Minister for Health at this word.
