- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)
Alan Kelly: I thought Deputy O'Connell would be first. I asked earlier for full documentation on the decisions that were made. That would include minutes on the key critical milestones in the escalation of the project. I ask the witnesses to also provide a full list of attendees at those meetings, including sub-committee meetings, since the establishment of the National Paediatric Hospital Development...

Alan Kelly: It was February 2017. What date was the €60 million increase?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)
Alan Kelly: It was September 2017.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)
Alan Kelly: That is fine. In August 2018 then, as Mr. Pollock said in evidence previously, it was €140 million more.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)
Alan Kelly: That was in August 2018. I presume that information would have been communicated up to Mr. Sullivan and to Mr. Breslin?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)
Alan Kelly: We know that Mr. Sullivan, who is in his role for a reason, and Mr. Breslin, who obviously talks to the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, every day, communicated that information up the line in August. Is that correct?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)
Alan Kelly: It would be strange if it was not.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)
Alan Kelly: Mr. Sullivan definitely knew.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)
Alan Kelly: Mr. Sullivan knew but it cannot be guaranteed that Mr. Breslin knew.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)
Alan Kelly: As well?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)
Alan Kelly: What date was that?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)
Alan Kelly: Will Mr. Pollock come back to us with that date?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)
Alan Kelly: There is a reason I am asking Mr. Pollock this question. What was the total cost of the project then at that point in August 2018?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)
Alan Kelly: One would assume it was €983 million plus €200 million.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)
Alan Kelly: That is fine. In August 2018, therefore, it was €283 million plus €200 million plus VAT plus the urgent care centres plus the issues with the contractors. That equalled X. Was that the equation?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)
Alan Kelly: Am I wrong in what I just said?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)
Alan Kelly: I just repeated back what Mr. Pollock said. That is all I did.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)
Alan Kelly: That is fine. Let me repeat, because there is deep concern here. What was the €200 million made up of?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)
Alan Kelly: Why was there an escalation of €140 million? I understand the €60 million. Mr. Pollock explained the issues with that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)
Alan Kelly: I know about the €60 million. Mr. Pollock has explained that very well, in fairness to him. I am asking about the €140 million.
