Public Private Partnerships: Discussion
1:30 pm
Mr. Eoin Dorgan:
The complexity of these contracts is that they spell out in real detail what the requirements are for handing back. Each project has to meet all of those conditions. As we were saying, in some ways these first schools bundle will be the first test of that but our understanding is that there are no concerns in the sense that the maintenance has been good so it is not expected that there would be issues. Unlike in other jurisdictions, we have not had issues where an investment or a PPP project has ended up coming back to the State early, perhaps because it got into difficulty.
