Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board

Mr. Fred Barry:

It is not an extraordinary answer. The range of answers are already presented to this committee and were published in the PwC report, which I believe was made available to this committee in April of this year. Within that report there is a range of exposures depending on what the levels of inflation are over the next number of years. The range is there. For the Deputy to say that I should be able to tell him what the level of construction is going to be in three year's time with precise detail is an unreasonable expectation.
