Public Accounts Committee

Children’s Health Ireland and National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Derek Tierney:

It would be remiss of me to comment on that. On the contract itself, that contract form is public procurement policy. We do not have a choice, unless there are exceptional circumstances, to stray outside of that policy. Again, that is the contract form and future construction will be dictated by public works contracts.
