Inflation costs for National Children's Hospital likely to reach €12m  

Construction of the new National Children's Hospital taking place in Dublin.

Inflation costs on the €1.7bn National Children’s Hospital have increased eightfold from what was paid in 2020 due to a hike in construction spending last year, the Irish Examiner can reveal.

An update delivered by the National Paediatric Health Development Board to the Public Accounts Committee states that such costs will likely amount to €12m for 2021.
