Marc MacSharry: I have information on which I will obtain legal advice before I share it here, but it contradicts some of the content of the correspondence. We will have to come back to it.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (14 Feb 2019)

Marc MacSharry: No. I do not want to go into private session now. We have received a lengthy and wordy reply, but, unfortunately, some of the stuff included in it just does not stand up and we will probably have to revisit it.

Marc MacSharry: I thank the witnesses for coming in voluntarily. We appreciate it. It is great that they have come. On a similar thread to do with the MANs, around the issue of the extension, it is still not clear to me why it was extended two years before it was going to expire and with no tender process. We are all about proper procurement procedures in here. Is there correspondence between BT and the...
