I wonder if Mr Ross would like to answer a few questions
"Vivienne Jupp and her new board should immediately collapse the tender process." - So what is the interim plan?
"Balfour Beatty was then selected. Not a very difficult selection as they were the only name in the frame." - Who should have been selected instead then? Someone who didn't bid?
"Lloyd Rail, had been forced to withdraw from the contest at an early stage because it did not qualify under surprise new terms and conditions." - Without letting us know what these were, how can we decide if they were reasonable? If they related to heightened KPIs, they would surely be welcome. I'm also not comfortable about this previous relationship considering Irish Rail were the only customer Lloydrail ever managed to get.
Why do I strongly suspect that Shane Ross would be jumping up and down, if the contract had been awarded the other way.
