Reviews are not being carried out at the moment because we do not have the data. It seems to be a confusing situation and I can see why it would be attractive to someone who is involved in bid-rigging. They would see so many loopholes that the chances of them being found out are low. As Mr. McHugh alluded to earlier, this is done so covertly that we seem to be at high risk of it happening because of our piecemeal approach to trying to uncover the information and carry out the reviews. It is deeply worrying.

How do we establish familiar patterns in the State in the absence of data? How are we establishing and looking for patterns at the moment? Are we identifying them?
