One of the biggest stories this week was the release of the PWC report which uncovered the underestimation of the real cost of the National Children’s Hospital.

Up until now, the project at St James’ has cost €1.7bn, and is only rising.

He told Ivan why drastic steps are needed and why, among other things, the Board needs to be disbanded.
