There is a new CEO in the OPW. I understand Maurice Buckley has retired. I was going through this last night and saw that in respect of non-compliant procurement and security for the National Concert Hall, prefabricated accommodation for Macroom Garda station and an information kiosk in the Phoenix Park involved figures of €127,000 and €165,000. The OPW specialises in property and deals with security companies regarding a number of properties it has around the State. One would imagine that the acquisition of prefabs or work on prefabs or this kiosk in the Phoenix Park would go out for proper tender. I think we could add that to the list for the Office of Government Procurement and let it know that we are concerned about this. Is the Deputy happy with that?
