I think it’s becoming clearer and clearer that the private sector is not supplying the appropriate standard of contractor and the state needs to intervene.
These are fraudsters stealing millions from the state and they shouldn’t be tolerated. It’s crazy how much money BAM have taken from the country while providing very little in return.

They also built 3000 rooms(as in finished rooms) that don’t meet standards. Just one snag, of the thousands, the rooms are too small to fit some equipment through the doors.
Bam are basically just swindlers and are notorious for not paying smaller contractors the agreed amount. They shouldn’t be allowed to build anything in this country, nevermind build something for the country.

Once the hospital is completed freeze all of Bam’s assets til an enquiry is completed clearing them of fraud and let the investigation run as long as the construction of the hospital

They haven’t even begun to Commission the place.
That’s when the really big problems and costs will surface

“It’s worth saying that, mistakenly or not, Bam still issued an invoice to the State for the full €25 million. But maybe that was an administrative error on their part.”
And there’s the inevitable cop out

How is the politicians who allowed this not brought to court for corruption?
Any other contract written up would be watertight especially for such an expensive project.
They give the contractors a blank cheque because the contract had so many loopholes.
Not only has the health minister at the time or any other been held to account, but he’s been made the fucking taoiseach!
It is pure corruption and greed, and no lessons were learned.

Sure which one of us hasn’t inflated the odd invoice, eh?

At what point can we call CAB in?

At what point do BAM face charges for fraud? Sending an invoice for €25 million for a job that cost 200k is as blatant as you can get!

BAM is a bunch of scumbags – the whole lot of them. This hospital is important and their greed is going to result in children dying.

Private Hospitals in this country can be built to spec, on time and on budget. The reason is that the management of the hospitals and the projects are competent, qualified and capable. There is zero waste. Completely different to the public sector. It’s full of incompetent management and corrupt. No one is ever held to account. Projects this size should be outsourced to private management firms to control the costs, project should be signed off correctly, budget secured and removed completely from politicians and civil servants. It would cut out the ineptitude.
