Public Accounts Committee
Oversight of Irish Water: Discussion
9:00 pm
Mr. John Barry:
I assure the Deputy the process we ran for these tenders was absolutely robust and fair to all of the bidders. I believe we got good value for money. The reason the Deputy sees such a high legal bill from Goodbody is that we had legal sitting all over the tender process to be sure we were compliant, that the process was fair and that we got the best result for the establishment costs.
