Seán Fleming: In Enet.
- Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)
Seán Fleming: We were a bit confused and had a letter today from the NTMA about the structure. The Irish Infrastructure Fund has units but not a shareholding. We are trying to get our heads around who is who. Who owns NBI?
- Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)
Seán Fleming: Has there been a change in the ownership structure of the main bidder? I thought Granahan McCourt was the bidder from day 1. A lot of people are utterly lost as to the sequence of this.
- Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)
Seán Fleming: And still is.
- Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)
Seán Fleming: That is helpful. At prequalification, the financial side of the consortium is coming through Granahan McCourt and Enet, as the key subcontractor, has a proven track record of being able to deliver as an operator in the system with operational knowledge of this type of project. Mr. McCarthy must be the most modest person ever to have appeared at the Committee of Public Accounts because...

Seán Fleming: That is very helpful. Has Mr. McCarthy covered the point or is there more?
- Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)
Seán Fleming: Perhaps, because it is so late, if he is free after, can he forward that document so we can read it in due course, as part of our further consideration. He can send it on to us rather than reading it now.

- Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)
Seán Fleming: I shall not cut into Deputy Murphy's time. I wish to clarify the following in case people listening to the debate or the public do not know who or what we are talking about. The report was commissioned by the DCCAE, which is the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment. We will immediately write to the Department. Enet understood, having met its staff last July, that...
- Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)
Seán Fleming: We are writing to the Department to ask it to give us a good reason the report was not published last July if Enet and the Department had signed off on it. The point is that people would have got the price reductions last July rather than tomorrow or today.

- Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)
Seán Fleming: We will ask the Department that.

Seán Fleming: They are good price reductions in so far as they go and it would have been better if they had been out last summer. That is all I am saying. That is a Department issue - the report - not Enet. I am sorry, Deputy Murphy, for the delay.
- Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)
Seán Fleming: Does Mr. McCarthy want his colleagues to sit at the table? There is no issue with doing so.
