We are being told moves will be made to establish fixed-price contracts for public infrastructural projects. Will the Minister of State tell the House when this will be done? If ever it comes about, it will be too late because the fortunes have already been made and the hundreds of millions of euro that could have been saved and used for health services, education and child care are now lost and gone. Similarly, the tribunal lawyers have made their money and the new rates of pay are being set as the tribunals themselves are closing down.

This Government introduced a wide range of property-based tax reliefs and exemptions without any cost benefit analysis.
