Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery

Role of Private Sector Construction Industry in Delivering High-Quality National Infrastructure: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. John G. Murphy:

It was not involved in that. We have one particular public client who was ringing around trying to get people to tender for a project. It put 27 tenderers on the list. The cost of tendering a project is probably about 1%. The economy, the country, Ireland Inc. has spent 27% of the value of that project on a tender, with just one contractor ending up with it. You can be fairly sure-----
