Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)

I repeat my request to the Minister to publish the economic and business case in respect of the public private partnership. Will he explain the concept of the transfer of risk, given that the Department is the guaranteed purchaser of the services of the PPP and our children and grandchildren will be paying for it in 25 years? The Minister is most famous for having spent considerable time up trees in north County Dublin. When he was up those trees, how much of Thornton did he see?
