Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
It underscores the importance of a good procurement process. If there was something wrong with the process the State would have lost and had to pay compensation as well the extra cost and delay. This has occurred. A number of years ago there was a sizeable settlement with an underbidder regarding a road project. The State at least has the satisfaction of having won the case. It is a poor comfort.
