I thank Mr. McCarthy for the information. Earlier he was speaking with a colleague, Deputy Peter Burke, about the case where Dublin City Council gave a €6.6 million interest free loan to James Elliott Construction in respect of Ballymun Regeneration Limited in addition to the contract for €10 million of building repair works which were not put out to tender. Mr. McCarthy defined this in his contribution as bad practice, which is correct in my opinion. Is he aware of any other cases like this under local authorities? Does he think this is completely unique in a national context?
