Contractual Arrangements for Public Sector Infrastructural Projects: Discussion

9:30 am

Ms Tina Walsh:

We have a retention of title on products that have gone in. This means they are our products until they are paid for. They have not been paid for so, by law, I should be able to go into the school and take out my products and sell them on so I can bring back some money to the company. We have been waiting for nine months to get paid. We have already had to pay our suppliers, which has created huge financial strain, as well as mental strain as everybody here will say. Family life no longer exists for us because we are taken up with the worry and stress of this. I have been told I cannot enter the building because I would be trespassing and I would be held accountable. Why? I am only going in to get something that is already mine. I have no payment for it. How can children sit on furniture we have supplied which has not been paid for? It will not happen.
