Mr. Robert Watt:

The big challenge within the project is to ensure that sufficient resources are allocated to the project. That is something on which the board and the contractor continually engage. There are more than 1,000 people working on the site now and the members probably saw the activity when they were there. It is to ensure the project is adequately resourced to deliver on the type of timeframe. Second, it is to get to a better place in terms of the dispute resolution. At the moment there is more positive engagement in terms of disputes. We are trying to engage more positively, to expedite the claims and get through things faster. These are the two things that stuck out, along with the obvious complexity of the project. This project is four times bigger than the most recent hospital built in the State, which was Tallaght hospital. This is an absolutely enormous site and when one actually gets involved and looks at the complexity of the project it is incredibly complex.
