Public Accounts Committee

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

9:30 am

Mr. David Gunning:

I have already given the Deputy the figure we have spent on conciliation and claims defence, which includes the court costs of €2.3 million for 2020. That has, therefore, been a big increase. I have to be a little bit cautious because these things are still live. As somebody indicated earlier, the development board initiated the phase B instruction, which is in the High Court. There are two others. If the Deputy bears with me, I will come back and confirm this because one is either about to start or has just started. I am just caught in that. Two or three others are in process and we can and will provide a short note to the committee to set that out. They have been initiated primarily by the contractor.
