Your cheer leading of multi national tax compliance and sneering of SMEs.
Word on the street at the time was that BAM were over ā¬130m cheaper than Sisk, there was a little joke amongst construction professionals at the time that the MD of Sisk rang the MD of BAM and asked him which building he forgot to price. Constuction professionals are funny.
BAM were the lowest tender.

By 20% to the next?
Yes ā¬637m v ā¬808m.
Tender was rated 75:25 Price:Quality
Public Procurement at its finest.

A building company hardly tendered low and then once the contracts were signed hit the client for a heap of extras at an inflated cost?

How am I sneering them?
The number of SMEs naturally dwarfs multinationals.
Tim_Riggins:
he people who regularly flout tax and company law in Ireland are invariably SMEs. Multinationals pay their tax and pay it on time. Mistakes are made all the time, that happens, but publically listed (multinational) companies are a relative paragon of virtue in actually following the rules they are supposed to.
Itās the equivalent of saying people with diplomatic immunity commit less crimes than everyone else.
Its all coming out now about who knew when on the cost over runs. Hiding room for the little weazel Harris is running out.
Revealed: Health officials knew about ā¬400m childrenās hospital cost overrun before last yearās Budget
The department of health were never great at sticking to a budget to be fair.
Whatās the average life span for a health minister in this country? Angola indeed.
You say SMEs cause most hassle for Revenue. The EU seem to have the impression that the same rules donāt apply to SMEs and certain multinationals.
