Public Accounts Committee

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works
Chapter 8 - Contract payments in respect of Convention Centre Dublin

9:30 am

Mr. Martin Bourke:

I have been in practically every court in the country up to the Supreme Court, and I have no difficulty going there if that is what has to happen. There is no question of that arising, I understand, in this case. There is actually a dispute resolution clause in the contract if we formally go into dispute. As commercial operators on their side and as commercially minded people on my side, we have to give it due diligence, particularly in the context of a Government policy that stopped international travel, etc. In the history of the world, this has never happened. It deserves a month or two to consider it.
