Public Accounts Committee

2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships

9:00 am

Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

We have published the public sector benchmarks. We publish public sector benchmark information initially after five years. Following the committee's request, we have actually provided the public sector benchmarks to it, via the National Development Finance Agency, NDFA, for any project which is more than five years old. We think that that is valuable and helpful.

We, obviously, publish the deductions and the variations, and they are all in the public domain. We are now commencing and arranging for the first of our post-project reviews. We have a group in place, of different Departments, to assist us in that regard and we have tendered for it. We intend to publish the outcome of that when we have it.
