The National Children's Hospital is
The National Children's Hospital is being further delayed.
The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) will today hear the hospital will not meet its scheduled completion date at the end of October.
Representatives from National Paediatric Hospital Development Board, Health Service Executive (HSE) and Department of Health will appear before the committee this morning.
Last February the Government gave the green light for a budget of €2.24bn for the hospital, but a statement from the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board warns ongoing delays are driving up costs.
TDs are seeking answers following further delays to the completion of the project.
The National Paediatric Hospital Development Board will advise the PAC that the hospital will not meet its scheduled completion date at the end of October.
Sinn Fein TD and Public Accounts Committee Chairman Brian Stanley said they will be seeking clarity.
"What we're hoping for is some answers in relation to what the completition date is for this hospital," he said.
"We know now that it has overun the original period by sabout four years.
"This hospital is badly needed, the public understand that, children need to be treated and need to be treated in a tinely manner.
"The fact that we don't have a modern children's hospital has hampered that."
