Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board

9:30 am

Mr. David Gunning:

Mr. Devine spoke of the NCRs and the issues involved there. We have a good process in place. It is really important that this hospital that will last for 100 years or more. It is really important that when they hand it over to us, it is as perfect as we need it to be. I do not see issues there. We have a process. Issues are arising, and Deputy Kelly mentioned some of those. The Cathaoirleach will remember that when we were before the committee previously we discussed ventilation. That issue has been addressed. There were numbers thrown around to the effect that it would cost €30 million, but the cost of fixing it was less than €1 million.
