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)

James Browne: I thank the Chair and welcome the witnesses. It is important to start by setting out who we are talking about, especially for the public when they hear the term subcontractors. We are talking about family businesses such as painters, security firms, scaffolders or cleaners. These are people who have done nothing wrong. They are ordinary local people. They are the kind of people who get...

James Browne: On the issue of certification, we have received more information but we are none the wiser as to the legal basis upon which the State can accept certification by contractors who did not carry out the work, in particular in respect of mixed products like concrete, steel and so on. Nobody can go back into the walls or the steel. Can Mr. Corrigan add anything on how the State can accept...

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)

James Browne: The State seems to be saying, by implication if nothing else, that the NDFA can accept third party certification. What is the State's liability if it transpires that something was wrong?

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)

James Browne: The current type of PPPs was designed to stop big contractors ripping off the State. What has happened is that the risk has been placed on the subcontractors, the little guys. The developers are using the subcontractors' good names to get goods in local stores, hire employees and so forth. The Construction Contracts Act 2013 provided that subcontractors would receive periodic payments....

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)

James Browne: The legislation does not need to be examined too closely because the evidence is before the committee and can be seen outside the local schools that are part of this contract. Subcontractors, who have done an honest day's work, are losing money hand over fist, having done their job. Some of them are going wallop, which has an impact on their families and employees as well as local...

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)

James Browne: The NDFA indicated it had taken legal advice on the State's liability. I am curious about the earlier statement that the goods in the schools had been paid for. Has the State, through the NDFA or another entity, received evidence to that effect? Has retention of title and claim on title been investigated? Has Mr. Cahillane seen receipts and evidence that all of these goods have been paid for?
