Public Procurement Contracts: Discussion

2:25 pm

Mr. Brendan Bannigan:

I wish to refer to circular 10/14 which came out this year. One issue - and this is also relevant in Chambers Ireland - concerns the library contract that was issued this year. It issued after the circular was published. Circular 10/14 was completely ignored. That was one of the issues raised by Chambers Ireland in a press statement on that contract. It said that while the document was very welcome, it was being completely ignored.
