Alan Kelly: We might some advice on this because there are huge sums of money involved. I suggest that we ask parliamentary legal counsel or others for advice as regards why we cannot get this information. If the contractor knows, the delivery board knows and the conciliator, in whom Mr. Gunning has full confidence, has made a determination, it seems a bit odd that we cannot get that information.

Alan Kelly: The conciliator has made a decision.

Alan Kelly: Has the conciliator made a decision?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: According to Mr. Gunning's own table, the next step is to go to the High Court.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: If the conciliator has made a recommendation, that is the final recommendation.

Alan Kelly: If the board does not challenge this, can it reveal to us what the-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: I know that. I am just wondering when we are going to find out. It is very important. There is a health warning - pardon the pun - in relation to the figures we have here and in relation to the board's figures versus the conciliator's figures.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: I did not say that. I was not putting words in Mr. Gunning's mouth at all. That is just my view. Would the Department be aware of the conciliator's recommendations?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: Would the Department be aware of the conciliator's recommendations over the last month?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: That is not my question. My question is whether the Department would have been made aware of the status of the conciliation, the recommendation by the conciliator and the amounts involved.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: So the Department is not aware of any recommendations.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: Mr. Quinn is not aware of the amount in the recommendation made by the conciliator. Is that right?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: The Department does not know. If any of that is wrong, I ask the witnesses to revert to me. On the baseline programme that has been outlined, and we will not go back through the change orders, the design changes and all of that sort of stuff, is it the case that there is no baseline programme out to February or March? How many change orders have been made in the last few weeks or months?...

Alan Kelly: I am asking the questions.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: I understand. I get it. I agree with Mr. Devine.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: There is a process by which the board can make changes. Mr. Devine calls it a tier 1 contractor, which I presume-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: I will accept his word on that. Is there a situation whereby technically it has to get a change order to do something? It might be aware of this coming down the line, but the development board actually has to formally give the order. I presume that is a standard process. I am not a quantity surveyor or a qualified builder of scale, but I presume that is the process. Until the actual...

Alan Kelly: Has that been helpful?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: That is fair enough.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: I have a final point regarding what would be helpful. Since the maximum price was decided on a month-by-month basis, I ask for a spreadsheet - we do not need the full details - containing the number of design changes and change orders that have taken place from the gross maximum price date to today's date. This should contain month-by-month detail on the number of design changes. In other...
