- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)

Gino Kenny: What did BAM say at that meeting that gives the Minister more confidence that it will complete this project by June 2025?

Gino Kenny: Has BAM said to the board it would commit to that work engagement, in terms of workers on site, etc? It was obvious from the board's critique that there are just not enough workers from BAM on site. None of the rooms have been signed over, which is not a great sign in terms of a structure like that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)
Gino Kenny: Again, getting back to the commitments, what exact commitments did BAM give? It is an enormous and very profitable company. What did it say in terms of doing X, Y and Z to get the job finished by June 2025? What did it say to the Minister and board regarding what it is going to do?
- 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)
