"My objective is that we need a hospital as quickly as we can for the children of Ireland. I would say to BAM in particular to get on with it," he said.
"There have been different personnel on the board over different periods of time and all of them, irrespective of the fact that they're different people, have reached the same consistent conclusion: that BAM are not putting their full weight behind getting this hospital complete."
"It's not good, but my view is that we have to stick with it, and protect the taxpayer as well, and not in any way lose our focus on making sure we protect the taxpayer and get the hospital built as expeditiously as quickly as possible."
"I can absolutely understand the frustration of taxpayers and parents at the failure to deliver the monumental facility - which is the subject of a funding struggle between its development board and the main contractor."
