Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Quarterly Meeting on Health Issues: Discussion
Mr. Paul Reid:
I have no doubt. I certainly did not get facts, numbers or details of them on the site but they asked me for support from ourselves and the officials on the continued negotiations with the contractor. Obviously, I reassured them of that.
In terms of the complexity and the timeline of the delay, I pushed them that we must continue with the timelines, to which we are committed, and as part of the negotiations, that must be in the mix as well. It is early days in terms of what has been submitted. I think this will happen throughout the project given its nature.
