Public Accounts Committee

Oversight and Implementation of Capital Projects and the Role of Public Officials on State Boards: Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the Office of Government Procurement

9:00 am

Mr. Robert Watt:

I am not going to get into the ins and outs of this because it is not my responsibility. There were a whole variety of issues in relation to costs. There were costs that were identified in August. Those costs then came down and other issues appeared, as the Deputy knows. It serves absolutely no useful purpose for me and this committee to get into the who knew what, when or how. I have set out today what I think the lessons are for the management of these projects and I have set it out very clearly. That is what my focus has been over the past number of months with the Minister.
