The Taoiseach has accused opposition parties of "scare tactics" and "fake" claims over the rising cost of the National Children's Hospital.
The project at the St. James's site is among 250 that will receive 2.1 billion euro in health service funding over the next three years.
The HSE's spending plan will also cover 480 hospital beds, 30 primary care centres and 2 emergency departments.
The Government insists no projects have had to be cancelled because of the over-budget Children's Hospital.
