Public Accounts Committee
National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed)

Mr. Paul Quinn:
I certainly would not agree to that. The priority was to deliver the project within budget from the outset. The instruction all the way through to the design team was to achieve a project that was delivered to budget. All the way through the meetings, at finance committee, procurement committee and the board, we had routine reports from the design team indicating where we were on costs so we believed when we were going to marketplace that we had a structure that was going to deliver the project within the budget.
The one thing I would mention is before we went to market we got an indication that market had started to heat up. It should be remembered when this project commenced-----
