I propose to take Questions Nos. 67 and 111 together.

The procurement of individual Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) is a matter for individual Departments. The National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) provides financial, insurance and risk analysis advice to State Authorities in order to assist in determining the most appropriate procurement mechanism. I understand that to date in 2011 there are five PPPs at various stages of the procurement process of which the NDFA is acting as the procuring authority for three in the education sector. There are a further four PPP projects in the pipeline.
