Amateur numbers tbh. NMH clearly not trying hard enough to outdo their colleagues in the national children’s hospital.
That’s what you get when u design a building to look like a fanny
There’s got to be a serious level of incompetence and/or corruption that every single major government funded construction project ends up like this. What the hell is the Auditor General or Public Accounts Committee up to that they never conduct a serious investigation and hold people accountable.
Need to learn some serious lessons from this debacle
Good job lads high score!
I do find it ever so funny on many levels, that people will call out common people on their bullshit and rightfully so but this is allowed to continue, unabated.
😉🤣👀
Tendering is used to loot public funds, and must be ended – replaced with direct state building for all major projects.
To be fair the amount they originally were talking was ludicrously low. I could have told you straight away it would at least 5X
Campaigners, including some prominent medical figures, argued it would have a Catholic ethos because of the legacy of religious control of St Vincent’s, which was founded by an order of Catholic nuns.
They contended that this could prevent certain treatments – legal in Ireland but not permitted under church rules – from being made available. But the government, other staff at Holles Street and authorities at St Vincent’s rejected these suggestions.
Are they for real???!!!
So lrt mr get this right – they are referencing a cost estimate from 2013 but the project hasn’t even been awarded yet?
Obviously raises a lot of questions about the initial high-level estimate given the huge magnitude it’s gone up by, but it’s not exactly a cost overrun vs. a solid project costing. And it’s still not even awarded.
Not sure I follow all the complaints about tendering here given it hasn’t been awarded yet.
That Scarface meme were Pacino is laughing into a phone springs to mind
It’s increased from an initial “indicative cost” of €150m in 2013. They hadn’t even costed it at that point, or chosen a site, or got quotes : they just mentioned a possible number.
Now it’s 12 years later and they’re talking *actual* project costs, including construction of the building and transferring everything from the old buildings.
Heads gonna roll, I bet. Maybe not, but there will be an inquiry, to find and punish those responsible. Maybe not, but a shitload of legal professionals get filthy rich. Love this country.
Ireland is a massively corrupt country due to Irish people being easy marks.
Anyone who considers this as a result of incompetence is complicit.
