Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I have no difficulty subject to the necessary caution that sensitive commercial information cannot always be disclosed in the House, which is one of the difficulties in ensuring full accountability in this area. I accept there is a difficulty here. However, the envisaged investments through PPPs next year are important. One of the advantages of the PPP arrangement is the rigorous assessment process which the State agency involved conducts in regard to the PPP. This often leads to considerable delays at the beginning of the PPP.
