Brian Stanley: I have another bit to go on this. Are there any built-in mechanisms for any renewable energy?
- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Brian Stanley: Here is the question I am asking. The building is substantially complete and we welcome that. If I were building a house tomorrow, I would need to get planning permission from the local authority and to do a whole lot of things in terms of energy efficiency. Is anything built into this project in terms of renewable energy?

Brian Stanley: When I looked around that day, on the neighbouring streets I saw many terraced houses and semi-detached houses. They are all very modest houses, and some of them are small houses. Even though that was nearly two years ago, I was struck by the number of them that had solar panels. I understand that it needs to fit in with the helipad and a number of other things. We were standing on this...

Brian Stanley: As the project has evolved, a lot of things have changed - even politically - in the last seven or eight years. Have modifications been made to it in terms of further upgrading? I am wondering whether we will be going back in a few years' time talking to SEAI about retrofitting part of the building or anything like that. In other words, as the project evolved, were changes made to upgrade...

Brian Stanley: In terms of the national maternity hospital, while I know it is not possible to put solar panels on certain buildings and in certain places, I advise Mr. Tierney to note the issue of renewable energy. Issues around energy availability, energy usage and energy costs are going to ramp up over the next 20 years and we will have to deal with those. I suggest that be taken on board in respect of...

We have covered a lot of ground. I thank the witnesses for the information and the replies....
