Public Accounts Committee
Special Report No. 77 of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Dublin Docklands Development Authority: Discussion (Resumed)
12:50 pm
Mr. Paul Maloney:
It was significant because, in coming to a final decision of what the bid would be, we had the valuations referred to and did not know who we were bidding against. At the end of the day, one is not bidding on a valuation but beating other bidders. These are public minutes and, under freedom of information legislation, they could have been a public document the next day. Therefore, we had to be careful not to show anyone else what the exact bid would be.
