Public Accounts Committee

Special Report No. 77 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Dublin Docklands Development Authority (Resumed)

4:00 pm

Mr. Lar Bradshaw:

I hear what the Deputy is saying and I am just going to have to tell him that I think the sequencing we did, that is what we did anyway. The Deputy can come to a view that says that was an inappropriate approach and we should have spent the money on legal advice, even if after spending the money on the legal advice - and as the Deputy now knows there were no public procurement issues - we then found that no one wanted to be a joint venture partner. I am just telling the Deputy what we did.
