Public Accounts Committee

National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement

1:00 pm

Mr. David Gunning:

I made a short comment earlier that the €15 million was for legal costs to cover the period from the end of 2019 to what we assumed then was the completion period, which was August 2022. We therefore expect there to be a greater increase in those legal costs as the project delays further and the substantial completion date is pushed out. We will announce the date when we are comfortable with that. Therefore, the legal estimates are all part of, shall we say, our adding up what we anticipate the total cost will be. We will have and will make that information available following our engagement with the Department, which is currently ongoing.
