- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: I am concerned-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: Okay. With regard to the service activation, there is reference to a six-month period. Ms Hardiman stated it is a complex operation. Is it not normally a nine-month period for service activation? I asked Mr. Gunning at a previous meeting about the nine-month period and he stated that was correct. Given it is a complex operation, why is a period of six months being given?
- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: At least six months.
- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: Being extremely optimistic that everything falls into place and goes to schedule, it will be six months. Realistically, however-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: We all want that but my point is that in the general scheme of things, it is normally a nine-month period. I know CHI is doing work in advance, but it is a massive project and it is normally a nine-month period.
- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: I accept that.
- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: I thank Ms Hardiman. The NPHDB wrote to the Minister to request additional capital. To what specifically does that relate? Is it anything to do with the claims?
- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: I asked whether it relates to the claims.
- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: Mr. Gunning cannot give an overall new price tag whatsoever.
- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: Mr. Gunning stated BAM submitted 2,379 claims.
- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: For a total of €756 million. Mr. Gunning gave a breakdown of the 28 claims that settled for €2 million. Realistically, could we be looking at that sort of amount being paid out for those claims or is there no chance whatsoever that it will not cost us more than €700 million?
- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: Is that not going to delay the completion date? Are there not legal concerns around-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: Mr. Gunning has no fear that there may be concerns legally that this will delay the opening of the hospital. There is nothing with regard to these claims or legal actions that could possibly delay the completion date. Is that what Mr. Gunning is telling us?
- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: We know there is a stand-off and there are claims disputed and all that. However, the fact that Mr. Gunning cannot give absolute clarity on it-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: Yes. By saying that, Mr. Gunning also cannot give absolute clarity on the completion date and opening date of the hospital and what the overall cost will be. Even years on, we still do not know when the hospital will be open, when the first patient will be treated and how much the hospital will cost. It that not ludicrous? This hospital will earn the title of the most expensive...

Imelda Munster: It is the reality.
- Public Accounts Committee: Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: This has been a complete and utter mess, and we are now looking at the National Maternity Hospital. Would the development board consider making a submission to the HSE and the Department on all of the problems encountered, everything that has gone on in this and the nightmare it has been, to make them aware for future in order that lessons could be learned? Would the board consider...

To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht to provide the most recent update in relation to the two ongoing reviews she has commissioned into governance, culture, contractor fees, human resources and other matters in RTÉ, including timelines for their completion; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
