Bord na gCon Financial Statements 2014
10:00 am
Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
I would like to interject. There may be a little confusion. The value of the sample looked at in 2013 was smaller. Proportionately, there was more non-compliance relative to that sample than there was in 2014. When we looked at Bord na gCon in detail some years ago what we found was almost universal non-competitive tendering for goods and services. Certainly, that has significantly improved progressively as we have come away from that situation.
