Public Accounts Committee

Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. David Gunning:

I have been reading the minutes of various things to understand and give the committee this detail. I was not personally present at the time. The understanding was that because the development board did not see itself as a contractor, it therefore did not apply RCT and it applied VAT. Again, it was exactly the same amount of money that was remitted to Revenue.
