Mr. Conor O'Kelly:

What one is seeing here are examples of difficulties with public procurement. PPPs are often confused with public procurement. The public procurement processes in itself has become extraordinarily complex and extraordinarily slow subject to legal cases. There is European law and local law combining. The incidence of people taking legal action when they are not the preferred bidder has escalated to the point that it is making these projects extremely problematic.
