Tullamore hospital might have been similar but I am familiar with Tallaght hospital. Where was the institutional memory in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform? There were capital overruns of IR£2.5 million for Tallaght hospital and there was uproar. Deloitte was asked to report on it. Where was the institutional expertise and memory in the Department that it did not look back to 1998 and what was done with Tallaght hospital? How come that expertise in the Department seems to have disappeared?
