- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Jan 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: My question relates to something else. Does Mr. Desmond envisage that there will be a knock-on effect from the massive cost overruns, which are only going to get bigger, let us be frank, before this project is over? Maybe they will not get bigger and whoever is in charge of ensuring that will get a promotion, but there will be knock-on consequences. Does Mr. Desmond believe that they will...

Louise O'Reilly: Mr. Desmond will understand that this project is part of one of the Department's processes. If I were in Monaghan, Youghal or somewhere else watching these proceedings, I would not be filled with confidence. However, I am sure those people want to hear from the HSE if their projects have been shelved or whatever other term it will use for that.

Louise O'Reilly: We will get a full update.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Jan 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: We look forward to that. The final paragraph on page 4 of the submission of the Department of Health states that the health capital allocation for 2019 is €567 million. The Revised Estimates from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform indicate a figure of €667 million. This underlines why the Secretary General of that Department should be present. Is that a typo?

Louise O'Reilly: Is that part of the €300 million to which Ms Hardiman referred in terms of the ICT budget? This is the point I wished to make earlier, although I appreciate Deputy Brassil had been waiting for quite some time. My understanding is that the €300 million represents a block of money the spending of which has not yet commenced. The spending will not begin until the hospital is...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Jan 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: That is included in the €300 million.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Jan 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: Is that the same €300 million that Ms Eilísh Hardiman last week told us is ring-fenced for ICT and staffing?

Louise O'Reilly: Ms Duffy is stating that €88 million comes from revenue.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Jan 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: That €30 million has been spent. That means that Ms Hardiman has €270 million left to spend.

Louise O'Reilly: Ms Duffy is saying the Exchequer will not have to pay out those moneys.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children's Hospital: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Jan 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: It does not come out of that €300 million.

Louise O'Reilly: The Department could probably help its cause if it were able to advise the Government that there is a bill which it will not have to pick up. Ms Duffy does not expect the Government to have to pick up the tab for the entire €300 million of which it was advised by the Department.
