Deputy Bríd Smith does not like the answers because she has decided that they are something to do with a construction company which she is going to keep naming on the record of the House, as is her right. I am not actually sure whether it is her right to keep naming companies on the record of the House but that is her choice. I am outlining to her the process the Government went through - I was not a member of the Government in 2015 - in terms of deciding the right procurement approach to take. That was a decision that I did bring to the Government in April 2017, and one I stand over based on the expert advice available.
