Whatever you are having on top. With that response, it is fair to say that the €1.7 billion is aspirational rather than a reality.

At the committee last week, Mr. Barry said that some contractors tend to approach claims differently. Some make claims that can be managed and substantiated, hence 50% of claims are done while another 50% are not done. Mr. Barry said that other contractors would make more inflated claims. This is what Mr. Barry said at the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health. What record has the contractor BAM in this regard? Given the use of this particular procurement model for the first time ever in a public build, I assume that the board would have examined this at an early stage.
