Notwithstanding the fact that in 2010, the Comptroller and Auditor General pointed out some deficiencies from the authority's point of view in respect of its tendering processes, as far as I can recall, the authority then decided simply to proceed to roll over these contracts. However, I suppose the key point is the authority had the sanction of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to roll over those contracts because of the uncertainty regarding the previous board.
