In the context of his presentation to us in terms of the number of tenders being reduced for civil engineering construction for tender competitions and then some of the suggestions he made around resources for the planning regulatory processes, along with the reform of the lump sum fixed price public works contracts, what does Mr. Walsh envisage? As a resident in Bishopstown and Ballincollig, I know that the Turks came in, if I can use this phrase without being derogatory, to build the Cork-Ballincollig bypass and they did a tremendous job. In fairness to the company at the time, its investment in community and sporting facilities in the area is to be applauded. Does Mr. Walsh envisage that internationally recognised civil engineering contract forms will be extended to that sort of process again?
