Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I emphasise that there is a serious lacuna here for companies adhering to their contractual obligations under the REA system and who will continue in good faith despite the striking down of the REA as opposed to other companies who will now use the competitive advantage open to them while that space is there. The Minister said the REAs are not enforceable in law and there is now a huge competitive advantage open to companies in terms of tendering for major projects while that lacuna is there. It is a matter of urgency that needs to be addressed as soon as the Minister has the Supreme Court order and the information from the Attorney General.
