Public Accounts Committee

Oversight and Implementation of Capital Projects and the Role of Public Officials on State Boards: Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the Office of Government Procurement

9:00 am

Mr. Robert Watt:

Mr. Quinn is not a member of the contracts committee but is a member of the board. In saying the board should discuss this with the contracts committee, he was playing a role as a member of that board. Mr. O'Brien is chairperson of the relevant committee which is discussing the approach and the effect of the derogation which I mentioned.
