North Quays Consultancy Costs Explode | Waterford News

The North Quays project, launched in 2018, is costing millions in consultancy fees—with €17.4 million paid by end of 2024, down from €24 million the prior year. Despite a four-year original contract, the scope has ballooned, stretching the partnership with London-based consultants to a decade. Fifteen consultants worked full-time on-site during peak construction, logging nearly 250,000 person-hours, fueling concerns over whether fees have been curbed. The council confirms the contract with Roughan & ODonovan remains active, underscoring the massive investment in expert oversight for this complex, evolving development.
