Two issues have jumped out at me in terms of the minutes on the review of costs associated with undelivered capital projects. My first issue is the national paediatric or children's hospital. It says that, in terms of the Mater site, there is post-project review being carried out by the Department in consultation or with input from the HSE, and with external support from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. Also, the timescale for the completion of this work is June 2016 and that is the first report.
The second issue relates to the Thornton Hall site. Again, the reply says that there is a working group in place, which will report back and is due to complete its work in April 2016. Do these reports automatically come to us? Do we have to ask for them to come to us? Can we say that once the reports are finished they should come to us for consideration?
