Sources described the meeting between Stephen Donnelly and BAM's parent company executives as 'positive', occurring amid ongoing friction regarding the long-delayed children's hospital project.
In a briefing to government leaders, Donnelly accused BAM of trying 'to extract as much money from the Irish taxpayer' and 'holding the State to ransom', prompting BAM to refute these claims as baseless.
The National Children's Hospital, initially projected to cost €650 million, is now estimated at €2.2 billion, with completion postponed until at least June next year.
After the construction board reported further delays, Donnelly sought to directly engage with BAM Ireland's parent company to secure a definitive completion date for the hospital.
