Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

No Consent, No Sale Bill 2019: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. David Hall:

It is a very small pool of people and funds. It is like a secret society because one finds these announcements are just made. They are not done like public tenders and there is no public transparency or public process involved. In the commercial world that is perfectly acceptable but these cases involve families and individuals whose lives and futures are being sold without any impediment to doing so.
