Preventing Bid Rigging in the Public Procurement Process: Discussion
Rose Conway-Walsh (Mayo, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
Does that make us more at risk here? Five of the six companies implicated in the bid-rigging situation in Spain have won procurement contracts in Ireland. How are they attracted to operate in Ireland, in essence? Are there loopholes we have that do not exist in other member states? Do international events of this nature trigger reviews? Would the CCPC look back over the awarding of contracts even in a situation where information comes to light after those contracts have been allocated or awarded? Did the Spanish case, for instance, trigger a review anywhere within the Government?
