Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Mr. Fred Barry:

It certainly makes it harder. As I said, what has happened thus far, as far as delay is concerned, is within the purview of the main contractor. I am not really speaking for it but just making an observation, as anyone here might. The nature of the site certainly does not help. We have the resources stretched all over the city and even the country. We have a very confined site. I think we all know that access to the site from the outside is very difficult and that it is a busy area.
