PAC chair wants to quiz BAM on children's hospital costs

The chair of the Public Accounts Committee wants BAM to appear before them to answer questions on the rising cost of the National Children’s Hospital.

Sean Fleming has also confirmed that he will facilitate a special expanded sitting of his committee to allow four other committees probe secretary general of the Department of Public Expenditure, Robert Watt, on the €450m overrun. While Health Minister Simon Harris is expected to survive a Sinn Féin motion of no-confidence on Wednesday, the issue is likely to rumble on.
