Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Mr. Fred Barry:

A lot of claims have been submitted and significant claims have been submitted. In or about 50% of the claims that have been submitted have, at this stage, been put through the determination by the employer's representative. The total award to the contractor from those claims, to date, is well less than €1 million, and that is well within the provisions we have already been given by the Government, as an approved budget.
