Public Accounts Committee

Business of Committee

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

A point worth making is that a private business would not have to do the same amount of tendering. For those businesses, it may be economically advantageous just to get a supplier. The rules are different between the two sectors. However, I do not disagree with the point the Deputy is making that if the chief executive says something must be done, then it should be done.
