I wonder how Stormont dodged the procurement rules on this.
Obviously some contractor is being handed a blank cheque and no doubt will fill their boots.
And: you know this:- or you are just saying?
Just saying.
Yes in private sector you can mobilise a contractor fairly quickly as it is your own money ultimately. Different ball game when it comes to public sector with the need for transparency and what not.
For all you know there could be a couple of government departments who need to shift capital money before the end of the year so this could be a win win for them.
Procurement law went out the window when Covid came, cant see Casement as being as critical though.
That's to assume it's being take forward by a government department. If Ulster GAA were funding the initial works themselves they'd be able to move things on fairly quickly. They've committed £15m to the project. That can be spent any time.
