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

Public Private Partnerships: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. Eoin Dorgan:

The IMF recommendations set out that the main driver for PPPs is value for money for the Exchequer. They should be pursued on the basis of value for money and affordability. The guidelines would have taken account of a lot of the IMF's recommendations in terms of increased transparency in the publication of data on PPP contracts that are awarded. That is a key element of what is being delivered.
