The contractor for the new National Children's Hospital says there's "incomplete and inaccurate" information  about the process.

BAM is the lead contractor for the new National Children's Hospital and issued a statement this afternoon.

It said BAM did not benefit inappropriately from the tender process for the hospital - and said much of the commentary about the hospital is based on inaccurate and incomplete information.

The company also said it's told the board in charge of building the hospital that it can opt out of the contract.

BAM said if the board would prefer to procure the work in another way it would facilitate that.

CEO Theo Cullinane has also written to the Taoiseach about comments made in the Dáil this week.

Leo Varadkar said there's some contractors he wouldn't like to see get a public tender again - and that he believes some companies have low-balled on projects in the past.

BAM wants the Taoiseach to clarify that he wasn't referring to BAM and to acknowledge the contribution they've made to the country.

The company says it is in full compliance with all its obligations when it comes to the new National Children's Hospital.
