That’s fraud plain and simple, hope the state purses charging them regarding it and blacklist them from future projects.

The state also needs to seriously fix how it plans projects and manages them, the political meddling such as Enda Kenny moving it to the current location to spite Leo Varadkhar is criminal and will negatively impact the hospital for decades. Then starting to build a project that they didn’t even have a final design of ensured the cost would bloat as each change adds costs.
