Marc MacSharry: No, Mr. Breslin did not. Mr. Breslin mentioned the AECOM report. I quoted from that report when we had the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in. Mr. Watt said that this was not his project at all. I will be returning to that in a minute.

Marc MacSharry: It is going to be a compensable event if BAM did not get the project.

Marc MacSharry: It could have said it was not going ahead. The steering group did not see it because it did not have time. This is ridiculous. What is a steering group for? Has the steering group been got rid of? It seems it was excluded from the key decision for which it was in existence because there was not time. Why was there not time? Who was sitting on their hands? Can I quote from the...

Marc MacSharry: Is it not fair to say that?

Marc MacSharry: The bottom line here is that nobody swings. On we go with systemic failure, culture, time issues, planning and so on. The whole team still ploughs on, except in terms of what we now know. Mr. Breslin mentioned the AECOM report, and I was going to refer to this earlier. The AECOM report on construction inflation was going to be incorporated. The exclusion is 4%. Last year, it ran at 7.5%...

Marc MacSharry: I am not saying any figure, but to state €1.7 billion, or whatever the figure is, as the cost is just wrong. If it is going to take between now and 2023 and it stays at the same 3% increase per annum, a lot more money is involved, is it not?

Marc MacSharry: It is an annual increase at the moment. AECOM did not say it was going to increase by 7% in total over the next five years. It said we are at 7.5% this year and that it could be more next year. An exclusion of anything over 4% can be negotiated.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed) (16 May 2019)
Marc MacSharry: It is not going to stay at 4%.

Marc MacSharry: Has anybody taken a wild guess as to what it will be cost-wise? The people really want to know. We have this omni-shambles and omni-shambles part two going on with the national broadband plan. What we are saying to people is that today the price is €1.7 billion. AECOM is telling us that this is going to increase cumulatively about 3% per year if its projections are correct, and...
