Ms Geraldine Tallon:

We would welcome a view from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in the context of PPPs generally. However, there is a distinction to be drawn between the kind of PPPs which obtain in the water sector, which involve public funding, and those in the transport sector, which involve private financing.
