Matters Relating to the Economy: Discussion with Governor of Central Bank

Professor Patrick Honohan:
I do not know how long procurement takes. I will sort of put my hands up in that respect. It would have been nice for the process to start on 30 July but we are six or seven weeks later than that. It was not our intention to drag our heels but I do not want to make excuses, such as the fact that there were other items being audited.
