It relates to procurement. The Speak Up report notes a general lack of trust in public institutions in the State. I was quite surprised that 68% of people think corruption is a widespread problem. I know that Transparency International, both within the State and as a global organisation, has dealt with corruption risk in public procurement. Public procurement is an area of particular interest to me. What are the views of the witnesses on the risks posed to the State public procurement regime? What risk reduction measures would they like to see introduced?
