Is it not fair to say that, if the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform followed up, not much notice was taken of it? Consultants A to F only finished last July, but they never went through procurement processes. It is like they won the lotto. Not one of them went through a competitive tendering process, yet there are figures of €146,000, €38,000, €145,000, €137,000 and €37,000. Nothing happened.
