Mr. Richard Scannell:

My understanding is that the board in making its decision took note of legal advice it had received about the agency's capacity to undertake a tender given that there was an ongoing legal dispute with ConnectIreland. I understand that was a factor. Other than that I am also aware that the board and IDA Ireland more generally would have looked at the results that have been achieved to date in terms of the job numbers achieved by Succeed in Ireland against its targets. Those are factors that would come into consideration.
