Public Accounts Committee

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works
Chapter 8 - Contract payments in respect of Convention Centre Dublin

9:30 am

Mr. Maurice Buckley:

While my colleague tries to check the data on specifically those ten, I will explain that we go through a five-stage process in developing all those schemes. In the first three phases we evaluate options and go through the planning process and the detailed design. Only at the end of that stage can the cost of the scheme be estimated with any real accuracy. Therefore, it is not that the cost has increased, that we are paying more for the same thing. It is that the scope of the works needed to give the protection required has been greater than was initially-----
