Public Accounts Committee

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

2:00 am

Mr. Phelim Devine:

No, we do not believe that. We have said to the contractor and in this forum on multiple occasions that we think there are insufficient resources and supervision on the site. If the contractor is only making 60% of its planned programme, obviously there are not enough resources. There should be enough resources there to make 100% of its committed programme and it has not done that. In the 18 months the contractors have been on the project, I would say they have hit their committed or planned progress fewer than ten times. There have never been sufficient resources on the programme, in our opinion.
