Mr. Paul Sheridan:

We need a sense of urgency about the proposals coming from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to deal with retrospective issues on contracts and something going forward to allow contractors to have a little bit of certainty around the risk they are taking on and to allow the pricing of Government contracts to continue. We also have to look at the broader contract. The NDP will have to deliver a lot of infrastructure and we will need contractors who want to get into that space. We need to look at NEC contracts as a viable option.
