Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board

9:30 am

Mr. David Gunning:

I will deal with the programme first. We have gone through the levers in the contract in terms of what we can do. There have been two periods – one at the start and for a time in, I believe, 2021 – when we had a compliant programme. What happens is, the programme is compliant for a period but, as the contractor falls further behind in its work, the programme falls out of compliance. The employer’s representative has had a lengthy engagement with the contractor to try to get it back into compliance. That brings us up to the current period.
