The expenditure incurred by the OPW on the National Children’s Science Centre at the Earlsfort Terrace Complex amounts to €1,584,880.

The costs incurred are broken down as follows;

Surveys, Site Investigation & Opening up works € 476,275
Legal costs from Arbitration, not including final costs on 2021 arbitration (Yet to be determined) € 255,252
Consultants - Civil & Structural Engineers, M&E Engineers, Quantity Surveyors etc. € 620,196
Statutory Applications- Planning Applications, Appeals, Fire Safety Cert applications, Disability Access certs and associated costs € 233,157
Total € 1,584,880

The projected final cost of the project is not finalised as planning conditions are still being assessed and they will also be subject to the outcome of a tender process.
