Noel Dempsey (Meath West, Fianna Fail)

The Deputy will appreciate I do not involve myself in the day-to-day operational matters of the authority. I am not aware it has broken any procurement laws or otherwise. If the authority wants to set up subsidiary companies, a general policy is in place that they cannot be a drain on the main company and must operate separately to it. It also cannot add to the costs of passenger travel, well supervised by the regulator. I am not aware the authority is in breach of any laws.
