Public Accounts Committee

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

2:00 am

Mr. David Gunning:

One claim is between €200 million and €300 million. One claim is in that ballpark. We are dealing with all of these. They are very complex in terms of the way they are put together. Our job is to defend the State against those. The contractor has to prove quite a lot to make these claims stick. We talk about delays, but they have to prove that the actual claim is causing a delay and that it is not some other issue that is causing it. It has to be dealt with, examined and analysed in a great degree of detail.
