    Not unfairly so Paschal. The steps taken by the government has resulted in a project massively delayed and over budget, what do you expect?

  2. Why did they need a report from KPMG which would have cost thousands I am sure?

    How many of these reports now have KPMG done?

  3. I watched a guy on Youtube saying it was one of the most expensive buildings in history. I think he actually said it was the most expensive at 2.2billion.

    He showed an aerial shot and the design is so “architect” wank its no wonder its causing so much problems. Then there is little parking and he posed the question where will they get the staff to run it. He said of roughly 700 doctors qualified in one of last few years over 450 had emigrated. People fixated on RTE flipflops when the biggest project fail in history is going on at the same time.

    >There are fears about gaps in ­staffing and senior leadership teams, and a lack of clarity regarding the future operating model and resourcing of the hospital

    So they’re spending all this money building the hospital, and they’re not even sure if they’ll be able to run it when it’s finished?
