I attended another committee meeting in the room next door at 10 a.m. with the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform about the deferred surrender to the central fund of unspent money in the capital envelope for last year where he provided that it could be used this year. The briefing note given by the Department of Education and Skills to the Minister, which was circulated to us at the meeting, states, "However, the contractor later ceased trading with the appointment of a receiver. While the project has been re-tendered...".

The note the Department of Education and Skills gave to the Minister, Deputy Howlin, this morning on this issue stated it was retendered and according to that note it did not go to the next in line. Which is correct?
