Public Procurement Contracts
Dail Éireann — 2020-07-21
============================================================

Mairéad Farrell (SF), Galway West

It is good to hear there will be an examination of this issue. It is a pity the PwC report also makes clear that the business case proposal upon which the State based this investment decision contained material errors regarding not adhering to the public spending code, to which the Minister of State alluded. Will the Minister of State advise why it was not adhered to? Who is responsible for ensuring it is enforced? It will be the most expensive hospital in the world.
