Question:211 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Public Enterprise if she has satisfied herself that all aspects of public procurement policy and semi-State guidelines were complied with by CIE in relation to its lands at Spencer Docks, North Wall Quay, Dublin, and their potential use as a site for the national conference centre; if the exclusion by CIE of one of the candidates invited to submit a tender by Bord Fáilte in relation to the national conference centre is in line with Government guidelines and in accordance with public procurement policy; and if this and subsequent legal challenges could lead to a delay in proceeding with the construction of the national conference centre and the loss of £25 million of EU funding for this.
