Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

National Children's Hospital: Discussion with Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

Mr. Robert Watt:

The point I am making is that I do not think we can say that the two-stage process,per se, has led to this. The implementation of this particular two-stage process, of course, has led to these difficulties. As far as I can see there are two problems which I mentioned to Deputy Pearse Doherty: committing to significant preliminary works which, in effect, tie the Government into completing a project on that site without us knowing the final tender; and that the approximate bill of quantities was not in any way consistent ultimately with what we were told it would be in spring 2017.
