Rose Conway Walsh: The European Directive 2014/24/EU provides that subcontractors can be paid directly by the contracting authority. Do the witnesses agree that such an opportunity existed?

Rose Conway Walsh: Who would have had responsibility in this area when the EU directive was transposed into Irish law and recognised here? We have a responsibility to implement the provision not in respect of multinationals but also regarding small indigenous businesses that are the backbone of our economy. Who examined the EU directive in order for us to transpose the provision into Irish law and create...

Rose Conway Walsh: Which individual Department assessed the matter?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Public Private Partnerships - Liquidation of the Carillion Group: National Development Finance Agency and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (26 Jul 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: The committee meets witnesses all of the time to discuss matters but nobody takes responsibility. When a directive lands on somebody's desk - or a number of people's desks - surely to God it is scrutinised in order to discover what must be done in Irish law that will protect both jobs and the subcontractors who are the backbone of the economy. It seems as if someone has decided to let the...

Rose Conway Walsh: I ask that the Department to consider the matter. The Government has been negligent in not transposing the provision into Irish law in the way that it should have been in order to protect subcontractors. The subcontractors here should consider the matter, in terms of taking a legal case against the State. I have a few questions on the audit process and due diligence. Is it correct that...

Rose Conway Walsh: The NDFA got the Carillion accounts that were endorsed by KPMG and all of that. I see that the response given was that a legal case could not be taken against the audit company.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Public Private Partnerships - Liquidation of the Carillion Group: National Development Finance Agency and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (26 Jul 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: In spite of the rulings that have been made before - I am not only talking about KPMG because obviously Carillion had internal auditors - all of the auditors agreed with each other about Carillion. When the NDFA was carrying out due diligence, did it analyse the fact that Carillion was completely dependent on PPPs? Carillion was basically robbing Peter to pay Paul. Do the officials from...

Rose Conway Walsh: The big four accounting firms stood over the accounts of all of the banks that subsequently led to the banking collapse. Do the Government and its agencies still take what is said by the audit companies as being accurate and true?

Rose Conway Walsh: Do the witnesses think that a similar investigation should take place in this country?

Rose Conway Walsh: In terms of the relationship, I ask that this committee recommend the referral of the statutory audit market to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission. We must stop the nonsense that is going on with these audit companies. Such companies are many steps removed from the people described by my colleague who appeared before us earlier and are broken people because these big audit...

Rose Conway Walsh: If we can, please. Can the witnesses please correct or guide me regarding the public service benchmark that was used? In bundle 3, the public service benchmark was €177 million and for the PPP, does it turned out at €411 million over the 25 years. Is that correct?
