Brian O'Shea (Waterford, Labour)

I thank the Minister for his response, although I am quite astounded by it. Does he stand over the granting of a three year contract costing €185,000 plus expenses, including foreign travel, which is 60% funded by Údarás, when it was not advertised, no competition took place, no announcement was made when the contract was awarded and no correspondence was produced in response to a freedom of information request from "Nuacht TG4" in respect of the efforts made inside and outside NUI Galway to identify a suitable person for the contract?
