Catherine Connolly: That is okay. I did not ask a single thing about money. I asked about tri-location. The 2017 annual report of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board, under the heading "Design", states: The following hospital facilities are required to deliver high quality, child-centred and family-focused services: - The new children’s hospital will be tri-located with adult and...
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed) (16 May 2019)
Catherine Connolly: I heard that and I repeat the question to the board. Is the bullet point on tri-location included in the 2018 accounts? The witnesses might check that and revert to me. It is in the 2017 accounts.

Catherine Connolly: No. I only have a short time and I do not mean to be abrupt but I am asking specific factual questions. I do not need Mr. Barry to repeat what Mr. Breslin has just said. I have simply asked a factual question.

- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed) (16 May 2019)
Catherine Connolly: I did not ask that. I asked if the bullet point for tri-location was included. That is all. If the witness does not know, he can come back through the Chairman.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed) (16 May 2019)
Catherine Connolly: I did not ask about the accounts. I did not ask about the figures. I asked if it was included as it is in the 2017 accounts where it is at the beginning as a bullet point.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed) (16 May 2019)
Catherine Connolly: Very good. The witnesses might come back to us. Who carried out the business case originally and who carried out the definitive business case? Costs for business case development in 2016 were €245,000. Business case development costs in 2017 were €43,474. Who did the business case and what is the total cost? This is a definitive business case that has, I believe, been...

- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed) (16 May 2019)

- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed) (16 May 2019)
Catherine Connolly: I raise this because the PwC report, which cost €500,000, states on page 28: "The DBC [definitive business case] overstated the completeness of the design and understated the risks". The report goes on to highlight that this "was factually incorrect and, in fact, when the DBC was approved in April 2017, the Stage 2C Design had been underway for 11 months." As well as describing it as...
