Doubt hangs over whether minutes taken at €1.7bn Children's Hospital briefings

Concern has arisen over whether minutes are taken at meetings between the Health Minister and the chair of the board overseeing the state’s biggest, most controversial, infrastructural project, the cost of which jumped €450m last year to €1.433bn.
Fred Barry, who chairs the National Children’s Hospital Development Board (NCHDB), was unable to say if minutes were taken at a recent meeting between himself, Simon Harris and Department of Health general secretary Jim Breslin when the project was being discussed.
