Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2022-07-12
============================================================

Malcolm Byrne (FF), Cultural and Educational Panel

Like other State bodies, an t-údarás is subject to public procurement rules, which are subject to a transparent process, so this amendment is unnecessary. I know from experience that public procurement rules are quite strict and, in many ways, they can potentially inhibit some actions that one wishes for, because the rules have to be followed strictly. I think this amendment is unnecessary.
