From the €300,000 bike shed to the still-unfinished National Children’s Hospital, Ireland has a habit of letting public projects, big and small, drift beyond their budgets and original scope. Why does this keep happening? Is it a lack of oversight, political interference, or deeper flaws in how the state manages capital projects? And when things do go wrong, why is it so hard to fix them? We speak to Dr Paul Davis, a lecturer in procurement and public spending at Dublin City University, about the repeated failures and what needs to change to prevent the next scandal.
