Alan Kelly: And therefore, would it be fair to say, substantial amounts?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: Some of these conciliations would be eight or nine-figure sums.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: I am pretty confident that I am right about that. Half a billion extra was allocated recently to the project. I am paraphrasing when I say that the Minister said not a penny would go towards paying the contractor. Is that a substantiated statement Mr. Gunning can stand over? An extra €500-odd million has been given to close off this project and the Minister, Deputy Donnelly, said...

Alan Kelly: If disputes are settled and there is an award for the contractor, whether small or large-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: Or a court settlement.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: The only money that can pay for that is the €500 million that has been awarded to the board. Otherwise it would not be trading properly.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: I take that as meaning some of that funding has to be used for that.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: I paraphrased.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: The additional €500 million? What is that for?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: Is it substantiated or acceptable to say none of that will go to the contractor?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: I just looked this up. This was covered in the media on 14 February. The Irish Times reported, “Mr Donnelly was adamant was that none of the funds [the €500 million] would go towards claims made by BAM.” I do not think that statement can be stood over. That is just absolute garbage. As a committee we should write to the Minister and tell him to withdraw this. He was...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: Exactly. I agree totally. I just wanted to make that point. I also believe we should write to CHI and get an update from it. Mr. Quinn said that some work, which I accept, would have been going on in parallel in respect of the six to nine months commissioning. We might get a status report from CHI on that. How many months has it cut off that nine months? That would be interesting. I...

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: Okay, that is one.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: In total, how many changes have to be made?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: I asked a question. I apologise but I am caught for time. How many changes in total have to be made?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: Is it 2,000, 3,000-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: Regarding light fittings, has there been any situation with that case or with others where the board made a decision - presumably the witnesses or Mr. Devine himself given his role - that it needed to go after a contractor or a subcontractor for its insurance because it was felt what was done did not meet the requirements or it was unhappy with it. Has the board ever bypassed the contractor...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: That is fine. I return to something that was said earlier on and regarding the whole employer representative, ER, side of things. I understand we have the figures but we need to give a health warning as regards ER, not related to the decisions but on the quantum. There is a huge number of claims that are outstanding. I think it is €600 and something odd million. I am only using...
