Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children's Hospital: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Jim Breslin:

They are the contractors. There are three contractors on the job - BAM Building Limited, Mercury Engineering Ireland and Jones Engineering Group. Regarding mechanical and electrical, they tendered the rates for the pieces they would supply. The process of finalising the design has now finalised the quantities that will be in the job and, as a result of that, their overall costs have gone up.
