New details around legal costs and disputes released to Soc Dems TD Catherine Murphy
In documentation supplied to Ms Murphy, a spokeswoman for the NPHDB confirmed that €1.68m has been spent on general legal costs since 2021. This figure includes nearly €300,000 in legal fees from the start of 2023 to date. The board told Ms Murphy that since the start of the children’s hospital project there have been “significant numbers of claims”.
The board pointed out that there is an already agreed dispute process in place between them and BAM around claims. To date expenditure on the hospital has reached more than €1.325 billion of an authorised capital spend stretching to €1.433 billion. “This request is being considered by our stakeholders and the NPHDB is precluded from discussing the details of those figures. As we are in constant engagement with BAM, it may also be the case that to divulge detailed information on costs publicly at this time would be disadvantageous to the State’s position,” according to the board.
