Public Accounts Committee

Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. David Gunning:

Again, going back to the table, 1,338 are in dispute. That is the total number that are in the dispute process. The Deputy can see that some of these have been determined. The High Court is mentioned there. Then, of the ones the Deputy mentioned that have been settled, 28 have been settled. Out of the 2,379 claims, 28 have reached a conclusion.

While we are looking at it, in addition to the contract, the contractor can also use the construction payments Act and refer items to adjudication, which is a separate process. Six items have gone to adjudication where the contractor claimed approximately €60 million. The total that has been awarded by adjudication is €1.9 million.
