That's according to Health Minister Stephen Donnelly.
BAM invoiced the Government for €25 million euro for a job which cost only €200,000.
That's according to Health Minister Stephen Donnelly.
Speaking at the Joint Committee on Health this morning, he said: "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."
He said the Royal BAM group is committed to its June 2025 completion date.
If that does happen, the hospital is then commissioned and 100 thousand pieces of equipment will be moved in along with 4,000 workers.
It will also be a fully digital operation with no paper.
Donnelly said he wants to see the hospital opened to parents and children by the end of next year but admits this is filled with a lot of "ifs".
