Public Service Management (Recruitment and Appointments) Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
7:00 pm
Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)
The political reality is if a contract was awarded improperly because of a failure to disclose interests, there would be significant pressure to have it annulled. That would involve a major scandal and, in those circumstances, it would not be easy. If a contract had been improperly obtained through a misunderstanding or false pretences, it would be difficult for the beneficiary to retain the contract.
