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:

I have mentioned a few times in the course of proceedings that we intend, once the dust has settled, to see if there are any policy issues that arise from the case of Sammon. Without trying to anticipate that analysis, I note that some points might come up about the PPP framework and that others may simply be general points relating to company law and other matters. Although this happens to be a case involving a PPP, very similar considerations to those we are applying here would arise if it was a traditional procurement or if it was simply a private contract. We intend to hold a review once the dust has settled. I make that point in order not to be disingenuous. Some of the issues here are not particularly about the PPP framework per se.
