Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 February 2010
82 Deputy Billy Timmins asked the Minister for Transport the consultancy fees paid to an operator for terminal two at Dublin Airport; when an operator will be selected; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6564/10]
View answerThe consultants appointed to advise on and organize a procurement process relating to the operation of the second Terminal at Dublin Airport have undertaken their work in two phases. In the 1st phase, the consultants reported on the design and organization of a procurement process. Having accepted the 1st Phase report, I retained the consultants to organize and run the procurement process. To date the consultants have been paid €699,219.63 (excluding VAT) for work on the 1st and 2nd phases. The consultants have now reported to me on the outcome of the pre-qualification stage of the procurement process and, in light of their recommendations regarding the process, I will be consulting my Ministerial colleagues on the matter.
