Work to resume on €1.7bn children’s hospital amid costs dispute

Work will resume on Monday at the €1.7 billion National Children’s Hospital despite a continuing dispute over extra costs which Government sources believe could run into tens of millions of euro., had not returned to work amid a row over the cost of resuming construction amid Covid-19 restrictions.

A stand-off over the project was due to a dispute over who would pay for the additional costs that arose through having to meet new public health guidelines on building sites. Government sources believe that demands made by BAM during the stand-off would add tens of millions to the project’s final cost.

Earlier on Friday, BAM said it was “unfair” that it was not being offered compensation for the additional construction costs on foot of Covid-19 public health restrictions and that this needed to addressed urgently.
