38 Mr. Sherlock asked the Minister for Finance if he has received the results of the independent investigation into concerns expressed about the procurement of certain goods and services by the OPW in connection with the EU Presidency; the main findings of the investigation; if it is intended to publish the report; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe review being carried out by PricewaterhouseCoopers on behalf of the Office of Public Works of the matters to which the Deputy refers is nearing completion and its report will be finalised shortly. The purpose of the examination is to establish, insofar as possible, the facts in this matter.
The report has been commissioned as an internal management document to assist me and the relevant senior officials in my office to ascertain the facts and as such it is not my intention to make it available generally to the public. However, I will make public the main findings of the report.
