- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)
Verona Murphy: No. What is important is what I have to say and the question I want answered.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)
Verona Murphy: What I am saying is that if somebody got it that wrong, how can we trust that the figures for the public coffers that are going to be delivered in two to four weeks' time, in respect of which I would imagine that all that is left to do is type the report, are in any way accurate?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)

- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)
Verona Murphy: And we did not have anybody with actuarial experience to come in on that. I will move on because I need quick answers. In the board's statement, it was said recovery in respect of inflation exceeding 4% is allowable on a contract. Why was it exceeded?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)
Verona Murphy: I thank Mr. Gunning. We are still accounting for the problems that we incurred in 2014. Every way we have to wait to see what construction inflation is so the 4% is possibly only the bare minimum.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)
Verona Murphy: That is great. I thank Mr. Gunning. The other question I have goes back to the claims. We have had 466 claims dealt with so we have just over one-third of claims left. Mr. Gunning is telling us it cost €230 million to deal with two-thirds of the claims. If the expected reserved estimate is €300 million, it means there is €70 million left to deal with one-third of...

Verona Murphy: Could Mr. Gunning explain it to me?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)

- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)
Verona Murphy: It is 0.1% of the claimed amount. What have we left of the €300 million that is estimated regarding the cost of the claims?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)
Verona Murphy: That is not the question I asked.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)
Verona Murphy: We still have an estimate of €300 million, with one-third of the claims left to settle. Is that correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)
Verona Murphy: I have one more question. I know the Chair will come back to me.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)
Verona Murphy: Is the dispute mechanism we are employing causing further delay on top of delay or does work just continue while the dispute mechanism is in place?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (9 Feb 2021)
Verona Murphy: Is the dispute mechanism causing a delay?

- Covid-19 (Mental Health): Statements (4 Feb 2021)
Verona Murphy: I will ask questions but the answers may be given in writing. Today, I want to start by wishing a very special young boy named Gavin from County Wexford a happy 18th birthday. I hope that he, his dad, two brothers and sister have a lovely celebration, not just because it is his 18 birthday but because he almost did not make it as he has mental health problems. I congratulate his dad and...
