Children's hospital builder misses deadline for 16th time
"'No rooms have been accepted as compliant with the contract standard'"
"The latest completion date for the €2.24bn new National Children's Hospital will be missed again, as €1.14m in payments to the builders are being withheld, the Irish Independent can reveal."
"The promised November 24 completion timeline will not be met - the 16th time it has shifted in the last five years."
Completion of the €2.24bn National Children's Hospital will be delayed beyond the promised November 2024 date. Payments of €1.14m to the builders are currently being withheld. No rooms have been accepted as compliant with the contract standard, preventing final acceptance and handover. The missed deadline marks the sixteenth schedule shift in the last five years. Ongoing compliance deficiencies and financial withholding are creating contractual and practical barriers to practical completion. Inspections have not validated rooms as meeting contractual standards, and resolution of those issues plus release of withheld funds will be necessary to progress toward opening.
