Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I appreciate the Minister cannot answer for everything that has gone wrong here and I do not expect him to do so but can he give me a view on why the emphasis on quality was reduced as part of the tendering process from 2010 to 2012? The Minister can see on pages 34 to 36 of the Scally report that there was a consistent reduction in the emphasis on quality and an increase in the emphasis on price. It was screening on the cheap and I do not make any apologies for saying that. How can we be sure that will not happen again? What specifically has changed in the procurement process?
