Public Private Partnerships
Dail Éireann — 2021-04-21
============================================================

Mairéad Farrell (SF), Galway West

Not long ago I made my party's submission to the national development plan review. In one of the sections of my submission I cautioned against the use of public private partnerships because of their poor past performance. In doing so I was simply relaying the strong domestic and international evidence which highlights the risk they pose. The Minister will understand my shock when I saw that the phase 1 report on the NDP identifies the potential expansion of their use.
