I actually asked the Tánaiste to ask the Garda Commissioner to publish the report. I will move on.
With regard to the negotiation of procurement procedures for the commercially owned and run direct provision centres, the Comptroller and Auditor General said in his report this morning that use of that procedure is only permitted in certain limited circumstances which we could not see existed in regard to direct provision. Why was it presumed that it would be appropriate in that particular context?
