Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board

Mr. Tom Costello:

It is very clear. It goes back as far as late 2017 when the issue on the sprinklers was raised. I referred to a sum of €61 million earlier. When that was presented as a possible additional cost to the CHP&P, we got into a two or three-month phase of challenge in respect of what we could do to ensure that we did not go above the €983 million. We looked at many different things. There has been a major ongoing challenge to keep costs to a minimum. The structure is tough and it is robust.
