Michael Noonan (Limerick East, Fine Gael)

When consultants, such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, advise the Minister on matters like this and it subsequently turns out their forecasts are wildly incorrect by large margins, does he still pay them? Does he keep them on his list for subsequent employment? Does he believe a payment system based on accurate results should be introduced? Does he feel those who do not do what is written on the tin should have their invoices honoured?
