Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
National Children's Hospital: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Tracey Conroy:
Second, I refer to timelines and the need to facilitate an early start on site. It was articulated here last week that the two-stage process facilitated a collaborative approach. We now have a guaranteed maximum price to which the contractor is signed up. Importantly, it facilitated the start of construction two years earlier than would otherwise have been the case.
