Jonathan O'Brien: The non-construction element would have been €346 million, based on subtracting the construction costs from the business case figure. That has now ended up at €749 million. Are those figures correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)

- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)

Jonathan O'Brien: I am not an accountant. Can somebody please just give me the figure?

Jonathan O'Brien: Can Mr. Pollock give it to me now?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Jonathan O'Brien: I would have thought the board would have this figure to hand when coming into a meeting of the Committee of Public Accounts. What are the total construction costs of the project, all in, as of today? It is a pretty basic question and nobody has yet given me the answer.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Jonathan O'Brien: I am not interested. Mr. Pollock is the project manager. The board should have these figures. This is the Committee of Public Accounts. It is the most basic question the witnesses were likely to be asked today. What are the total construction costs, all in? I am still waiting.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Jonathan O'Brien: Very well. What are the total non-construction costs, all in, as of today?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Jonathan O'Brien: Is that excluding the €275 million we identified earlier? I will work out the figures for that. How much are we are talking about?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Jonathan O'Brien: Approximately €450 million. Construction costs €1 billion.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Jonathan O'Brien: This is actually crazy. It is €1 billion for the construction costs all in, including the satellites.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Jonathan O'Brien: Before we break, can somebody give me the total construction costs, all in, for the project including the hospital and satellites? Can somebody also give me the total non-construction costs, all in, as of today? Those figures should add up to the €1.7 billion which we spoke about earlier. Is that correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Jonathan O'Brien: I understand that there are some costs associated with the HSE and some with the Department, while the remainder are associated with the development board. I am looking for the total cost.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Jonathan O'Brien: That is all three of the groups. That is all I am looking for. I am not trying to catch anyone out or anything.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Jonathan O'Brien: Yes. We now know that there is a process under way that could potentially increase that figure of €1.7 billion. Is the potential increase on the side of the Department or the HSE, or does it have to be met by the development board? Where are those figures potentially going to be? I know it is all Exchequer funding but I want the breakdown if possible.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Jonathan O'Brien: PwC is carrying out that assessment.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Jonathan O'Brien: Sorry, PwC is carrying out the assessment on why the increase took place initially. Who was awarded the contract for the internal auditor services and the accounting and financial services, the internal compliance?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (31 Jan 2019)
Jonathan O'Brien: What is that contract worth?
