Show Notes

The completion of the Children’s Hospital in Dublin has (once again) been pushed out to February of 2025, with the overall projected costs being 2.2 billion euro. The hospital was initally meant to be finished in 2020…

How did we get to this point, and why does this project consistently face delays? 
Kieran is joined by Paul Cullen, Former Irish Times Health Correspondent and Paul Davis, Procurement lecturer at the School of Business in DCU to discuss.

Also joining Kieran for some reaction to the delay is Catherine Murphy, Social Democrats TD for Kildare North and Deputy Chair of the Public Accounts Committee.
