The Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore says there is no breakdown in trust between himself and the Health Minister James Reilly.

He was responding to reports in the Irish Independent today claiming he has bypassed the Minister and is seeking his own advice on the optimum location for the new Children’s Hospital.

The Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin says it is evidence of a fundamental breakdown in trust between the 2 parties.

The report on the new hospital is ready but it has not been brought to Cabinet yet.

Advisors to Mr. Gilmore have been meeting with bidders for the site to discuss the best location for the facility.

But speaking at the launch of a video to promote a Yes vote in the Children’s Referendum Eamon Gilmore denied that there is a breakdown in trust between himself and Minister Reilly.

While Transport Minister Leo Varadkar says the report will be brought to Cabinet after the Taoiseach, Tánaiste and Health Minister meet to discuss it.
