Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children's Hospital: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Jim Breslin:

As a final point, I believe that Mr. Pollock, the project director who appeared before the committee during previous proceedings, said that the stage A works, meaning the groundworks and basement works, have been delivered on budget. One of the issues with moving onto a brownfield site is that those works can run into trouble on ground conditions which can lead to a higher cost than estimated. Based on what Mr. Pollock said, that has not been the reason for the cost escalation.
