Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)

Colm Burke: My thanks to the witnesses for their presentations today. I wish to go back on the €300 million in claims because I want clarification on this. My understanding is that 466 claims have been dealt with and this leaves 235. What is the value of the 466 that a decision has been made on?

Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)

Colm Burke: The question I am asking is about the value of that 466 out of the €300 million. I accept it is not fully signed off on or finalised and there are other processes, but what is the value of the 466 cases?

Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)

Colm Burke: Out of that €230 million in claims, the development board has come out on the plus side rather than the negative side. Is that correct?

Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)

Colm Burke: I move on to the work done to date. Will Mr. Gunning give us a guideline as to what percentage of the work from the overall contract is completed? Figures have been given, but can he give us a percentage? Is it 10%, 15% or 20%?

Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)

Colm Burke: So we have only around 20% of the project in real terms completed?

Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)

Colm Burke: I go on to Mr. Dempsey. He mentioned in his report a "detailed analysis". What will be the outcome of that? What detailed analysis will be in this report? I am confused as to what the Department is doing on this.

Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)

Colm Burke: I presume a detailed bill of quantities was presented when the contracts were started. It is only as the work goes on that one discovers whether or not it was detailed enough. Therefore, is an analysis at this stage just trying to pick figures out of the air? We are talking about €300 millions in claims and we are only at 20% of the project.

Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)

Colm Burke: Does Mr. Dempsey accept that with 20% of the project complete and €300 million in additional claims, multiplied by five it means there could be €1.5 billion in additional claims and that, therefore, any detailed analysis carried out by the Department will not be of assistance in real terms?

Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)

Colm Burke: I am talking about €300 million in claims with only 20% of the project having been completed.
