Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

Yes. I will probably need to look at it again but I am aware that in the past those would have been published. The point has often been made here that the committee can be assured that value for money is being achieved because the Comptroller and Auditor General can look at these projects. For me, looking at any one of these projects would take a full-time staff member a year. I do not have the resources that would allow me give the Deputy the reassurance that every single PPP project delivers value for money. If I look at it I will report on it, and we have done in the past, but the Deputy needs to look for assurance from the National Development Finance Agency, NDFA, and from the sponsoring Departments on the value for money they are achieving, and not assuming that just because I can look at them I have looked at them. I do not have the resources to do that.
