Mr. John McCarthy:
The Capita report was prepared following on from the initial issues raised by the local government audit service.
It spoke in terms of there being a single business case. It was not suggesting there was no business case, but that it had not been formally compiled into one single repository. These issues have since been addressed by the city council. The commentary by the local government auditor in the subsequent report on the 2012 accounts was positive regarding the changes which had been made.
On the issue of a conflict of interest and without wishing to get into the detail of it, Dublin City Council addressed it in February when it was raised with it. It had been raised going back to 2004 and 2005 and was addressed at that stage also.
