Public Accounts Committee

National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Phelim Devine:

There are different categories of claims. The sectoral employment order is a big part of the €31 million claim. We spoke about Covid earlier and there are claims of approximately €40 million. There are quantum claims, which are the variations the Deputy mentioned. These are extra things or fewer things. There is also compensation for extension of time claims. The majority of the €440 million are claims by the contractor for additional time and the cost of that time. Of the €440 million, approximately €370 million is time related. Much of it overlaps. The contractor is claiming for time on multiple occasions.
