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:

My view is that we should not do that. It is not only my view but the view of Government. The Minister for Finance brought a number of measures to Government a few weeks ago, which I have set out in my statement to help the discussion. Those measures were designed to try and learn the lessons from this experience and ensure we do not commit to that type of spending again. The Government is ultimately caught in a bind.
