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:

To my mind, it is clear that the correct procedures were applied, that Paul has an obligation as a member of the board, that issues arose that were clearly understood by the chairperson and that the chairperson brought them to the relevant Minister. I am absolutely 100% certain that Paul acted exactly as he should have because issues arose, he knew that the chairman of the board knew about them and that the chairman of the board had communicated that he was going to communicate them to the Minister. It is from clear from the minutes that that happened. There is absolutely no issue with how Paul discharged his duties. He absolutely 100% discharged them in the way he should have done.
