Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships (22 Mar 2018) Seán Fleming: We have a list of 30 PPPs all over the place.

The first post-project review carried out by the Courts Service was published six months ago.

Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships (22 Mar 2018) Seán Fleming: Given that this is the key organisation that advises every body that wants to spend over €20 million and helps them in designing PPPs-----
- Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships (22 Mar 2018) Seán Fleming: I understand that. The agency helps to design it and when the project is up and running, it goes back to the Department. If the agency continues to provide advisory services for PPPs and the witnesses know that a post-project review was carried out by the Courts Service, would it not have made sense to read and study it for any lessons learned and to see if the objectives set out at the...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships (22 Mar 2018) Seán Fleming: As Chairman of the Committee of Public Accounts, I find this extraordinary. There has been a post-project review of one project but the NDFA has not studied it in detail to see what lessons can be learned. It is advising on new PPPs but there is a report out there and it has not been studied. I am a little disappointed that somebody from the agency did not take an hour to read the report...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships (22 Mar 2018) Seán Fleming: Please do but I want a response from the NDFA. There is a serious link missing in this chain of following through in the public interest.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships (22 Mar 2018) Seán Fleming: Given that it is the agency's line of business to deal with PPPs and that there is a report out there, would the witnesses not have read it, even if they were not obliged to? Would they not have an interest in the topic? I find it extraordinary that there is a report available and that nobody has chosen to be even interested in reading it?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships (22 Mar 2018) Seán Fleming: I am a bit exasperated at the way in which this meeting is going. Everybody is in favour of publishing them but they have not been published. The Department of Justice and Equality published one and nobody has looked at it. I would have thought the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the NDFA would have gobbled it up and learned lessons from it. Nobody has even taken the time...

Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships (22 Mar 2018) Seán Fleming: I will take up the Deputy's suggestion and suspend the meeting now. The committee will go into private session. We would have thought that we would have some information on the review. None is available. What we can do is seriously limited until we get some of these reports. Perhaps there is a limited value in carrying on.
