I put a query to my own local authority recently regarding the employment of private contractors for the purpose of traffic management, that is, traffic wardens. I was told that the authority could not tell me about the procurement process and how much it cost because of commercial sensitivity. I find that strange because when we are at this committee, after the event, we can get the figures but a local authority official told me that I cannot have the figures now. As a public representative, I want to get those figures. Can Mr. McCarthy tell me how I can get those figures?
