I will have no role whatever in deciding who gets a private contract from any Department. I never have and never will. I can absolutely assure the Deputy that I will not ever decide on that when something goes out to tender and someone wins the contract. I am sure the Deputy is not suggesting that I should take it into my role as Taoiseach to make decisions on who gets contracts or subcontracts. I never have and never will. I can assure the Deputy that I would never decide that. When something goes out to tender, it goes out to tender.
