This will not be treating our children but our children’s children.
I know someone who works in fire safety, who is very serious about their profession and they say that the safety tests they’re doing in that hospital are beyond extreme. Every bit of wiring needs to be signed off by a fire safety consultation. Whoever is in charge of the construction of that building should never be allowed to again
If this doesn’t get opened within a few years this thing is going to be the most expensive disaster our country has ever wasted money on.
If the economy and housing crisis doesn’t improve not enough people will be having kids to populate the thing. Do we even have enough nurses for it?
If it was rectangular like most buildings it’d have been finished ages ago for less money.
Withhold all further contracts and payments for the development firm until this one is complete. They only know how to speak in money. Take it away from them for breach of contract.
Only recently I seen people commenting that the public sector couldn’t build infrastructure, it would be over budget and delayed, cause the private sector are so much better?
Anyone actually got the article content? Am I fuck paying for the Times.
Government seeing the consequences of treating this as a vanity project. Poorly planned and there are already massive issues with the site chosen
Synopsis:
In January 2025, a rare breakthrough occurred for Dublin’s beleaguered national children’s hospital as the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (NPHDB) and builder BAM agreed on a “compliant programme of works” after years of disputes and cost overruns. The agreement set a June 2025 completion date, enabling a nine-month commissioning process for a summer 2026 opening. However, optimism faded as BAM achieved only 58% of planned progress by March, with no rooms reaching substantial completion. By April, the completion date slipped to July 22, and early site access promised to Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) was not granted. In May, BAM proposed a new September 30, 2025, completion date, citing client-driven design changes. Tensions escalated as the NPHDB reported ongoing delays and incomplete rooms, with 11,000 snags remaining. CHI’s early access, critical for equipping 6,000 rooms, remains unfulfilled, jeopardizing the planned opening. The project, now costing €2.24 billion, faces further delays, risking a winter move that could complicate patient transfers. The NPHDB continues to press BAM for a realistic schedule, as public and political frustration grows.
I once worked hospitality at a BAM work event and they were the worst customers I’ve ever had to deal with. Absolutely horrendous treatment.
Why is the Times reporting on this?
Can’t say I’m surprised.
just to compare how many other projects are being completed in other European capital [https://praha.camp/en/prague-tomorrow](https://praha.camp/en/prague-tomorrow)
Neasa Hourigan predicted this.
Waiting for the Metro station underneath it I presume. 2040 will be amazing!
