The company contracted to develop the new National Children’s Hospital has been accused of submitting “grossly inflated claims” and no firm date can be given on when the hospital will open, an Oireachtas committee has heard.

The committee also heard that just 27 rooms have been "deemed complete" out of 3,000 based on BAM's commitments.
