Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships (22 Mar 2018) Catherine Connolly: Sharing of revenue was built into some of the contracts for schools but I see that no revenue came back. I think Mr. Ó Foghlú's comment was that there was very poor uptake. I am delighted by that because I thought it was a very bad idea. It is acknowledged that there was poor uptake from people wishing to use schools outside the educational system.

Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships (22 Mar 2018) Catherine Connolly: This was another criteria used to sell the PPP which really was without foundation. I have to tell Mr. Ó Foghlú that I am delighted because I think it was a very bad idea. A school should be used for the community and never for profit. That was a criteria that was set. Why is Mr. Ó Foghlú shaking his head?

Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships (22 Mar 2018) Catherine Connolly: Okay. Who will be dealing with the revenue coming from the National Conference Centre? I understand the revenue due back from that project was quite sizable. There was €2.4 million in 2013 and then no revenue in 2014, 2015 and 2016. Who monitors the revenue?

Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships (22 Mar 2018) Catherine Connolly: Again, I do not understand that. We have the national conference centre. If the threshold exceeds a certain level, money is presumably due back to the taxpayer. Some of it came back in 2013. I will not go into the minutiae of it. In 2014, 2015 and 2016, no revenue share was available for the OPW.

Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships (22 Mar 2018) Catherine Connolly: Going back to the Gort-Tuam road, I re-read that over lunch. In respect of the Marguerite Fund, its interpretation of TEN-T regulation provides for the court's audit rights even in a case where the beneficiary is a private partner.
