Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 December 2004
162 Mr. Ferris asked the Minister for Finance the way in which a company (details supplied) was able to secure the contract for the Revenue Commissioners office at Nenagh and the tax office at Limerick in view of the fact it is not tax compliant. [32095/04]
View answerI am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the conditions governing the awarding of security and other contracts in any of their offices requires the successful tenderer to produce a current tax clearance certificate or, in the case of a non-resident tenderer, a statement of suitability, awarded by Revenue, before a contract is awarded. The Revenue Commissioners are satisfied that these conditions are complied with. With regard to the company referred to by the Deputy, the tax affairs of a company are confidential between the company and the Revenue Commissioners.
