Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Independent)

I wish to make clear - in case there is any doubt about it - my commitment to making this happen. Equally, we have a public procurement process. I say to Deputy Ó Caoláin that it is not appropriate, nor would it be lawful, for me to intervene personally. In fact, if he wants to have the issue tied up in the courts for the next number of years, then that is precisely what I should do.
