- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: That brings me to commissioning. At this committee and others, every time substantial completion is talked about, commissioning has to be added in. We have always talked about six to eight months. Is the board happy with that as a number?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: There is a grey area here, however. There is an overlap in respect of some of the very complex systems such as the MRI machines and CT scanners that live in the substantial completion part. Is that correct?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: In my last two and a half minutes, I will ask for clarity as regards the baseline programme. The last time we talked, we were talking about BAM submitting programmes that were then not accepted by the board. I am trying to get some clarity on the board's opening statement. It outlines the many times the completion date has been pushed out, which we are all aware of, but I am trying to...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Neasa Hourigan: I will not use all of my time, so the Senator need not worry. First of all, I am not entirely comfortable with describing this as a boilerplate public works contract because it was a two-stage situation that would not be found in every contract. That left us open to perhaps some of the difficulty we find ourselves in now. I want to go back to technical commissioning. Mr. Devine described...
