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. David Corrigan:
I will start with the question about the certification paragraph in the NTMA's letter. We spoke about it earlier. I assure the committee the NDFA is not in bed with the Dutch Infrastructure Fund, DIF, in terms of circumventing regulations or the statutory provisions of the State. The intention of that paragraph was to assure people that the NTMA will ensure that the statutory regulations are complied with in full. That is the legal and statutory responsibility of DIF, the assigned certifier and the builder under the contract. Nothing less will do.
