Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Public Private Partnerships - Liquidation of the Carillion Group: National Development Finance Agency and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

11:00 am

Mr. Paddy Howard:

If it is that question, we care about the effectiveness of the framework in delivering the public interest. We have conducted a review at the policy level and that is what I briefly outlined at the start of this meeting. We have said, "Yes, this is a technique to employ on certain occasions."

The Deputy has raised an issue about subcontractors. First, it is not an issue that relates primarily to the PPP code; it is an issue that relates to the construction sector generally. The Deputy has pointed to legislation that is in place but it is not particularly a part of the PPP code. Does the Deputy understand what I am getting at?
