Agencies quizzed over cost overruns in planned €1.5bn national children's hospital

Government spending agencies have been quizzed about the massive cost overruns in the planned build for the national children's hospital as pressure mounts to explain the €1.5bn project spend.

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has put a series of questions to the Government procurement office as well as the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) as outrage continues over the overspend.
