Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships (22 Mar 2018) Alan Kelly: I look forward to dissecting the review. Ironically, I was Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport when the Taoiseach was the Minister and I recall him being very critical of the payments made under schemes such as this.
