Public Accounts Committee

Oversight and Implementation of Capital Projects and the Role of Public Officials on State Boards: Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the Office of Government Procurement

9:00 am

Mr. Robert Watt:

Nobody is taking credit. What I have set out in the opening statement is a valid point, lest the people watching these proceedings think otherwise, that not every project faces significant challenges of the type faced by the children's hospital. Not every project is delayed, nor are there overruns on the scale we have seen. We wanted to contextualise the debate because it would be disappointing if people thought all projects were subject to the overruns we have seen on the children's hospital project.
