Public Accounts Committee

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

9:30 am

Mr. Phelim Devine:

This is in the information pack, but the budget for the centre in Tallaght is €34.9 million. The current contract sum is €34.07 million, just under the budget. However, the project is trending over budget because we have had to make an additional investment in the Tallaght adult campus. Part of the work we are doing out there was to build a new crèche and new administration and changing facilities for Tallaght. There has been an additional investment in external infrastructure such as roads, paths, electrical equipment, new transformers and stuff like that. That was not envisaged when we put the budget together. The project is costing more but that money has been invested in a healthcare campus.
