- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)
Seán Fleming: It was a couple of weeks ago. Fine.

Seán Fleming: Starting into 2019, it was expected that €265 million would be paid in respect of contracts entered into-----
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)
Seán Fleming: -----as part of the project. That money would come from the board. Is that correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)
Seán Fleming: Okay. We are agreed. It would be something close to €265 million. I now move to the period "between one and two years". This refers to figures for after the end of 2019 but before the end of 2020. The accounts were finished at the end of 2018. Year one would have been 2019. Is that correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)
Seán Fleming: The period between one and two years would be 2020. That is what the document indicates. Is that correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)
Seán Fleming: That is not what the document indicates.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)
Seán Fleming: This is meant to be "between one and two years".
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)
Seán Fleming: Fine. The witnesses can see why the figure is alarming me. The published audited accounts indicate, in layman's language, that these payments are to be made in 2020 but Mr. Gunning is now telling me this should be 2020 and 2021. It should cover between one and three years.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)
Seán Fleming: We are taking the figure as wrong. It is between one and two years. Mr. Gunning is saying it is between one and three years.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)
Seán Fleming: I am coming to that. We have covered year one.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)
Seán Fleming: The next line refers to payments between year one and year two.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)
Seán Fleming: That is after year one.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)
Seán Fleming: That is not stated.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)
Seán Fleming: The reference is to the two years after year one.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)
Seán Fleming: It does not state that. I am putting it on the record that the accounts do not indicate that. We will stick with that. The witnesses are stating that in 2020 and 2021, the national children's hospital will require €653 million from the capital budget. We are dead right on that. Mr. Devine is nodding so my figures are dead right. A sum of almost €654 million will have to be...

Seán Fleming: Fine. Mr. Breslin has told me the total capital construction budget for the HSE is €744 million for 2020 and €775 million for 2021.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)
Seán Fleming: It appears that meeting the commitments for work already contracted and under way means the board will have to come up with €654 million between 2020 and 2021. It is stated in the accounts when that is expected to be paid. That is from a total capital construction budget of approximately €1.5 billion.

Seán Fleming: I want those figures on record. What percentage is that?
