It was before Ms Denning's time, but who kept moving the goalposts? According to the then Minister in 2015, the price was going to be €40 million. Did the board move the goalposts or did the Government decide that it needed more or less out of the site? I am interested in knowing whether additional demands were made of the Courts Service to do a bigger, better and wider job. How did the figure go from €40 million to the approximately €140 million in four years, notwithstanding the precedent of the national children's hospital where the price has risen much more quickly?
