I came to a similar conclusion. I was involved in the issue of the renovation of Eyre Square which dragged on significantly and caused great difficulty for the city of Galway. What is required is a quick and clear decision. I note Senator Quinn's proposal that the Minister should publish guidelines. A two-track process is not desirable but rather a firm and quick process of decision-making is required which would result in a final decision. If the process is to be dragged through adjudication and arbitration, this could lead to very long timescales in the case of public sector contracts. Without having the wording from the future Minister in front of us, it is difficult to say how this would work. I would not like to see a two-track process so I support Senator Coghlan's views. There should be a binding arbitration process.
