Government Told To Sue Kill-Based Contractor BAM Over Children's Hospital Delays

Thursday, 12 February 2026 08:49

By Martin Osborne

Health Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill was asked at the Oireachtas Health Committee yesterday if construction would actually be finished by the latest deadline of April 30th.

The government is being urged to sue the Kill-based contractors BAM who still haven't delivered the new national children's hospital.

Health Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill was asked at the Oireachtas Health Committee yesterday if construction would actually be finished by the latest deadline of April 30th.

She replied "that's up to BAM".

Committee chair Padraig Rice says the Minister must begin legal proceedings against the company to ensure no more deadlines are missed.
