Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:
With regard to tendering by Bus Éireann, 65% of the expenditure is on private contractors, for which there is tendering. We are not of the view that €152 million has arisen for tendering. If the committee has any concerns about individual cases where there has been inappropriate tendering, I would appreciate it if it could be brought to our attention.
