Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank all the witnesses for coming in this morning. While Deputy Donnelly was teasing out the figures, it struck me that, whereas we all know that cost overruns can happen, in this case, the overruns are on a monumental scale. If I was having work done on my house and the costs were escalating at this rate, I am not sure I would continue with the contractors. The board seems to have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Ms Hardiman for her comments. I do not accept there are empty beds when there are people and children waiting for them but I will investigate that further.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I would be very grateful for a report.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: Mr. Costello has said that it was the best option in terms of cost. Is he suggesting that other people could have contributed more to the massive escalation in costs? Such a claim lacks credibility. I have read the slides and as I am conscious that our time is short, I would rather that we did not go through them.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: At the initial tender process stage, did nobody ask why one bid was €132 million less than every other bid? If that was me I would find such situation alarming. If I was tendering for a contract to install a few presses I would wonder how someone else could do the job for substantially less. I do not believe there are other people who could escalate the costs at quite that rate....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I am sorry to cut across Mr. Costello, but does he now accept - I am trying to choose my words carefully, but a former Taoiseach used to refer to "smoke and daggers" - that items the board wanted may have been left out of that competitive bid, ensuring it was the lowest bid? Mr. Costello is saying that the board was obligated to go with the lowest bid. That does not make any sense, as...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: Clearly, they knew. They must have had a handle on how the costs could escalate. When the board was considering the bids, did no one express concern that one of them appeared to be an outlier in terms of cost and might not be able to deliver this project for that amount? It was far out of line. The sum of €131 million is not a small amount of money; it is a huge amount. If one...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (16 Jan 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: With respect, that makes it worse because Mr. Costello should have known. I am simply a householder and am not involved in construction so if I am engaging somebody to do so some work, I could be forgiven for going with the lowest bidder who turns out to be three times the initial cost quoted to me.
