Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children's Hospital: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Dean Sullivan:

I will ask Mr. Pollock to come in to supplement my response. The first thing I would say is I have no expectation, and I know the Government has no expectation, that there will be any overrun in terms of the delivery date for this project, or indeed any overrun in terms of costs not being within the budget now set, other than insofar as that is allowed for within the contracts between the development board and the contractors in terms of things like hyperinflation and so on. There is no expectation of overruns on either of those other than that. Mr. Pollock may wish to comment.
