      Is there not a mediation process in the contract with an independent group within the contract before legal action is pursued?

      >The exact details of the court case are not yet public and A&L Goodbody did not respond to a request for comment.

      Not sure there’s much to say on this for now. For all we know someone from the board of the National Children’s Hospital took a dump on their desks and they’re seeking an injunction to stop them coming to further meetings. Wait for the details to come out… Or have a thread going on about BAM and the Children’s Hospital, sure it’s a slow morning.

      “In response to the issue of the drawdown charges, BAM said that there have been 84 new and revised design changes to the build from the development board, despite an agreement with previous Health Minister Stephen Donnelly that there would be no further design changes.

      The majority of the remaining work on the hospital relates to these changes, for which BAM has also not received payment, the company stated.

      The firm has also been awarded a number of other government tenders despite its part in the dysfunctional build of the new children’s hospital.”

      The minister and this development board have alot to answer for

      It’s a pretty horrible building too. A big prefab with zero stone masonry or anything that might be construed as artistic.

      So we’re three years past the original completion date, with nothing opened and no handover date agreed. We’ve more than tripled the original budget. And what? All we have to show for it is a legal dispute between those involved.

      No doubt BAM will continue to receive & bungle tenders for public infrastructure projects, and the same stuffed shirts that oversaw this mess will continue not holding them to account. ‘Twas ever thus.

      Upon seeing the article title I said “They can do that? Isn’t that a conflict of interest?”

      Should be interesting enough now let’s play the blame game once again, which of the three (or two?) are the most incompetent: BAM, National Children’s Hospital, or the department of health/government

      Just read yesterday how Norway is building a 27km long tunnel, up to 400m below the sea floor, and its estimated cost is the same as this.

      Different projects, different challenges I know. But I would never have thought any *normal,* non-enormous building could cost the same as the longest, deepest undersea tunnel in the world.

      Contractors like BAM exist on the premise that they make their profit via claims for work not included on original tender.

      Just counter sue them for it not being built on time and how much it cost etc etc. Fight fire with fire.

      They’ll all come out looking bad off the back of this but govt. did throw BAM under the bus on this mess. It’s no surprise they’re pushing back. They’ll get their cash & tenders but FFG will come out looking (more) incompetent.
