I can understand how somebody responsible for a project, fearing it might not be completed and that there could be a risk of losing the subcontractor, would put in place a sticking-plaster solution to ensure completion. In the private sector, those kinds of arrangements are made, but the difficulty is that the OPW, in going beyond the tender, exposed the State to a charge of €300,000.
