Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board

9:30 am

Mr. Eamonn Quinn:

I do not protest the word but I am just being very clear on that. The reality is that the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board is statutorily responsible for engaging and contracting to deliver this hospital. There is a contractor who has done everything it can to negotiate directly with Government to get a blank cheque. We cannot allow that.
