Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Reform of Public Works Contracts for the Construction of Transport Infrastructure: Discussion

Mr. Paul Sheridan:

Potentially, but I could not stand over that number. The problem is it tends to get mixed up with general procurement, whereas construction is more about risk management. It probably needs to be geared up a bit more.

Senator Jerry Buttimer:Mr. Parlon referenced a resource issue but surely the pandemic of the last two years has taught us we have an issue with public works contracts and that a specific team needed to be put in place to enhance the delivery of projects and strengthen the procurement process.
