Mr. Eoin Dorgan:

It is for the individual sponsoring Department or agency to determine which projects they wish to bring forward for a PPP undertaking. As we said, we are starting to see more of these types of projects being taken in the educational and housing areas. Of the 30 projects, these are across transport, education, housing, justice and health, while the OPW has one project. This is where we have seen them come through. It is up to Departments to come forward if they think there is a project they feel is really necessary and can be done by PPP. It is up to the Department itself to assess such a project and then make the proposal in line with the guidelines, whether it will come to us or to the Government to bring it forward.
