Public Accounts Committee
Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion
9:30 am
Mr. David Gunning:
It is in the table that we provided to the committee. At the bottom of that table, the Deputy will see that under the heading of conciliations agreed and no longer in dispute - this is on the left-hand side - the number is 28 and the value of those claims is €2 million. In addition, claims have been determined by the employer's representative. There were 1,610 claims for which BAM was seeking €641 million. The employer's representative has said the value of those settlements, or what she is proposing, is €16 million. Therefore, the total amount settled is the sum of those, which is €18.8 million, which is less than 2% of the value of the project. The increase in the liability of the project from its original value is approximately 1.8%.
