- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: Awarded.

Louise O'Reilly: I have a number of questions on this. We know that with major infrastructural projects the claims will continue for up to four or five years afterwards. They do not all get settled as they go along as Mr. Barry would know. In his experience are the bulk of the claims settled at the early stages of construction, or are they more likely to be settled towards the end or afterwards?

Louise O'Reilly: And even beyond the end.

Louise O'Reilly: When whoever is the Minister gets to jump out of a car to cut the ribbon, it might be five years from that before we get the final figure.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: The claims will obviously run and run.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: I suspect later. Mr. Barry is saying that the claims settled to date amount to less than €1 million.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: While I am no engineer, my information is that at this point in the proceedings we would be talking about a very small level of claims settled and the bulk of them will not happen until closer to the end or after the final handover date. The figure of €1 million would not be much by way of a guide. It is not possible to say that just because it was €1 million for the first...

Louise O'Reilly: It is likely to be multiples of that.

Louise O'Reilly: What is that timeframe?

Louise O'Reilly: How many?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: Okay. The 60 days Mr. Devine outlined are made up of 20, 20, ten and ten days. However, Mr. Barry has said it will probably be 2024 or later. There is a bit of a contradiction in that.

Louise O'Reilly: The question I asked was about-----

Louise O'Reilly: -----at what point-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: I ask Mr. Barry to let me finish this one. At what point in the project do the majority of the claims arise? Is it towards the end of the project? At the time of the handover would he expect a spike in claims? Is it immediately post handover or would he expect it to continue at a steady pace during the course of the project?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: Therefore, we would expect the €1 million claim to be settled if that was to be the case. Mr. Barry would not be expecting any major shocks out of that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: What percentage by value of the claims are settled? The question is not necessarily specific to this project but based on Mr. Barry's experience with large-scale infrastructural projects. Would it be 70% of the claims? I am talking about the value of claims and not the number of claims because 70% could relate to all the tiny claims or all the enormous ones.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: What is Mr. Barry's estimate of the percentage by value of the claims that would be settled?
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Accommodation Provision (26 Nov 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: 43. To ask the Minister for Health if he has had dealings or meetings in relation to a proposed private hospital in Swords, County Dublin [48892/19]
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Accommodation Provision (26 Nov 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: The front pages of my local papers advise me that the local by-election candidate from the Minister's party is going to deliver a private hospital. My understanding from what has been said publicly on this is that there have been meetings at the highest level, up to and including An Taoiseach, so I should have probably included him in my question and that this is a project that Fine Gael has...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Accommodation Provision (26 Nov 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: Is the Minister saying that he has not met anybody, be they a colleague of his from his own party or somebody from the organisation who is building the hospital; that he has not had any meetings on this hospital? The impression is being given that the public purse will be used to purchase beds in this hospital. Since the Minister is talking about a 165% increase in capital spend, is...
