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

The most recent was an internal report from November 2018. Is Mr. Barry aware of that report, what it cost and who was involved compiling it?

Catherine Connolly: I am not sure what point I am making. I am trying to discover the nature of the report from November 2018. I understood that was the report wherein the board considered whether to go forward. The prices were rising and I understand the board commissioned a number of high worth companies, including PwC, to come in and advise it. Is that the report or am I confused?

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