The report by the Attorney General Mr Michael McDowell into the awarding of the contract to run the €62 million aquatic centre at Abbotstown, Dublin, is to be delivered to the Government tomorrow.
The Fine Gael front bench spokesman Mr Charles Flanagan said yesterday that key questions must be answered on the circumstances surrounding the awarding of the contract. The report, he said, would be a test of the "political independence and integrity" of Mr McDowell.
The Attorney General returns from a six day trip to the US this morning.
He travelled to Los Angeles for the St Patrick's celebrations there. His absence was criticised by the Opposition who said it meant he would not be able to conduct the inquiry properly.
"Having spent the last few days in the sun in LA, he has not inspired confidence that a rigorous and searching report will be published in the next 48 hours," said Mr Flanagan.
The Attorney General's report must ensure full disclosure of all the facts surrounding this bizarre affair, he said. The report must state who precisely are the beneficial owners of Waterworld UK, the company which was dormant when heads of agreement were signed for the aquatic centre.
"How could a multi-million euro public contract be awarded to a company the ownership of which is unknown? Who are now the legal registered owners of the site at Abbotstown?" asked Mr Flanagan.
He said it must be discovered why the Government ignored the concerns raised in the report by consultants High Point Rendel about the Campus and Stadium Ireland Development procurement strategy.
