Alan Kelly: Let us say the conciliator decided the contractor should be awarded more than €50 million or more than €100 million. The board has to decide whether it will accept that in the coming weeks.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: If it accepts it, I presume that the details will become public, like the ones that Mr. Gunning has told us about - the nine.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: Yes. So it will be nine, ten, eleven because there are multiples of these. There is more than one.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: I respect that. On the conciliations that are currently live, where the board has had the conciliator make decisions, the board now has a period to reflect on those and decide.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: I presume the board either accepts those or pushes them on to the High Court.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: That is currently the board's table.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
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...

Brian Stanley: Mr. Gunning, do you wish to answer that, please?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
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)
Brian Stanley: Mr. Quinn, do you want to comment on that. You are the Department representative. The question is whether not a penny more out of that half a billion will go to the contractor.
- 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)
Brian Stanley: Yes, so it is not a statement. In my opinion it is a difficult statement to stand over. I call Deputy Murphy.
