Alan Kelly: We have design A and design B for the two stages. It is agreed that 95% would have to be agreed for the GMP to be signed off on. Is that correct? It is in the document. We might get the specific date in April - I am sorry, as I do not have it - on which this report was done. It was the month of April in any event.

Alan Kelly: The stage 2C design report had not been approved by the board at that stage. Is that correct?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)
Alan Kelly: That report could not have been done in March or before April.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)
Alan Kelly: It could not have been before 5 April.

Alan Kelly: I understand that. What is bugging me is that, when it came to the actual design, we still had not got to a percentage. Let me make this more Bauhaus and simple. In terms of the actual design process, what percentage of certainty had we as regards the design of the children's hospital when Mr. Barry took over a good few months back compared with now?

Alan Kelly: I do not think there is, but go on.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)
Alan Kelly: It might be on Mr. Barry's part.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)
Alan Kelly: That is right.

Alan Kelly: May I contribute a second time?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)
Alan Kelly: There are two parts to what Mr. Barry just said. First, while I accept what he says in respect of the first part, I want to be 100% clear that the design for stage 1 or stage A, as we will call it for the sake of clarity, has not changed at all since Mr. Barry took up his position. The second part is the second phase of the design that Mr. Barry has outlined so eloquently. Between his...

Alan Kelly: Mr. Barry does not get to ask the questions. I do.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)
Alan Kelly: I know, but I am an elected Deputy and people talk to people who are Deputies. That is protected by the State, so it is inappropriate for Mr. Barry to even put a question like that to me. He might go ahead.

Alan Kelly: They are not rumours. I do not deal in rumours. I gather information. That is my role in life - I am a Deputy.

Alan Kelly: I will make my final point on this matter, but I will speak again because I have a range of other topics to cover. According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, the uplift in design costs is 68%. Is that not correct?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)
Alan Kelly: Yes. It is €27 million. Has that percentage changed since Mr. Barry took on his role? Is there an additional amount over the €27 million? Regarding the design stages, Mr. Barry stated that the design was 100% complete and six months ahead. I understand the design's phases and how they fall into one another, having read all of the reports. In fairness, they are graphed out...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)
Alan Kelly: That was not one of my questions. I asked Mr. Barry whether he had any concern about the design. I also asked for the figure of the increase in design costs.

Alan Kelly: Has Mr. Devine concerns about design changes?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)
Alan Kelly: I will ask further questions next time.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)
Alan Kelly: My first question is a request for documentation to be supplied to the committee. Can we have all the NPHDB board minutes, unredacted and up to date, sent to the committee? On 3 April, the board met and the minutes state that a presentation was received by the finance and construction committee, from the design team, wherein it was reported that additional monetary risk had been identified...
