While the performance is good, it could be a hell of a lot better. It is not acceptable. I say that in the context of what is being offered as an excuse for not procuring goods and services properly. Deputy Deasy raised the issue of the Aran Islands in the context of procurement and there are many examples of procurement that fall way short of the mark. When that happens and it is clear that there is a problem, what power does the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform have to make the agencies and Departments work in accordance with the rules?
