Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 31 January 2018
151. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the value of PPPs awarded in each of the past ten years; the number of Irish companies that contracts were awarded to in each year; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4932/18]
View answerMy Department's role in relation to Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) is to maintain and develop the general policy framework (including, where necessary, the legal framework) within which PPPs operate. It also provides central guidance to other Departments and State Authorities in that context. My Department has no direct involvement in the procurement or delivery of individual PPP projects.
A summary update on PPP projects is available at the website www.ppp.gov.ie. A copy of the update table is set out in the following table for the Deputy's information. The table summarises information on PPP projects across the public sector indicating for each project, the value of the contract, the operational date of the project and the name of the company to which the contract was awarded.
The Deputy should note that the table is intended to provide indicative information in relation to PPP projects generally, based on information provided by Departments/Agencies. The Central PPP Policy Unit in my Department endeavours to ensure that the information is as accurate as possible but details on specific projects should be confirmed with the State authorities responsible for those projects.
