Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

Deputy Rabbitte asked if there were other contracts. Obviously, I mentioned that question would be examined in the review. Regarding taking action against Deloitte & Touche or anyone else, we must base our decision on the report's findings and whether they simply continued based on the contract they were given, which was too open-ended. We have closed down such business in the infrastructural area, and we will do so in this area if necessary. There are many people carrying out individual consultancy contracts — companies both small and large — for Departments and agencies.
