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:

This is the issue. The understanding for the stage two process was that the design at the tender stage would be a detailed design and that the approximate bill of quantities would be 95% certain - I think that was the expression. The issue was exactly as the Senator describes it and as we have spoken about today already, namely, a derogation was given on the basis that there would be more certainty about the nature of the final design than was the case. That is the reality of it.
