Public Accounts Committee

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

9:00 am

Mr. Jim Breslin:

Yes. I have stated on the record that we informed the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform that we were in the process, that it was challenging but that we were pushing the development board to be robust in concluding matters in order to get us there as quickly as possible. That was our position with the development board. We asked it to challenge the figure and stated that it was representing the State and the taxpayer and should not accept anything that could be challenged. We stated that it should robustly push back in order to get us the best outcome possible.
