Why did the Department not appoint a judge who was in the country?
We are not so short of retired judges. Is this matter not urgent? I will move on, but there will be more about this because in 2015 the Department of Finance is still appointing consultants without a tendering process and giving them a blank cheque to do a job. A couple of weeks into it they will ask for a scoping document and there will be argy-bargy about the few extra hours they will take. Does Mr. Moran have an indicative figure, to the nearest million, as to what this process will cost?
