Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Matters relating to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform: Discussion

Mr. Robert Watt:

Mr. Quinn was asked to go on the committee and he was there to discharge his duty as a member of the committee and not in his official capacity as the chief executive officer of the Office of Government Procurement. Mr. Quinn had served on that committee for a number of years and he made his decision to move off that committee. Mr. Quinn is busy managing a large organisation of 300 people and he has many different responsibilities. He had made his contribution. As the Deputy knows, the procurement process for the hospital had reached a certain stage and at that stage I think Mr. Quinn felt it would be best for others to step in and make a contribution. He has made his contribution.
