- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)
Gino Kenny: On a more positive note, when will the hospital be open to children? When will the first child go into the national children's hospital when it is complete? Is there a particular date if that deadline in June 2025 were to be met? Is there a possible timeframe in terms of when children will be cared for in what will be this amazing, though expensive, structure when it is finished?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)
Gino Kenny: We all want to see the hospital open as soon as possible. Given the history of this build, though, logistically, we are probably looking at 2026 as the date when children will be there.

Róisín Shortall: How is the standing conciliator appointed?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: There is no option to change that person.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: I would like to have that clarified because it is a key point.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: Following on from the Minister's meeting with Royal BAM, when he was asked if he had confidence in the June 2025 date, he listed out things and said if this happens, if that happens and if the other happens. There are a lot of “ifs” and there is really nothing concrete coming out of the meeting other than the Minister saying he had confidence that they would deliver by that date.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: I thought the Minister said earlier “if they do” a number of things.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: The Minister said “if they do” a number of things that he listed. That requires a considerable leap of faith. We have been in this same position for a number of years, namely, if BAM does various things, everything will be fine. What is the arrangement for monitoring that those commitments will be adhered to?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: It is fine to say it but who is actually doing that and who is reporting on it?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: Is there a schedule that needs to be met on a weekly basis to ensure those commitments are adhered to?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)
Róisín Shortall: It would be very helpful if the Oireachtas committee, for the benefit of the public, got updates on that on a regular basis. Something like 14 months elapsed between our meeting with the board the last time and virtually no progress was made. Can the Department provide us with those updates, say, on a monthly basis?
