I asked the Minister of State whether there are any serious risks. I take his point about flood management and welcome what he had to say in that regard. If a new comprehensive expenditure report required the OPW to reduce its numbers by a further 5%, would that present any risks?

I guess the Minister of State has outlined one, potentially to heritage buildings, which has a knock-on effect on public value and tourism and other things. Is there anything within the current envelope of funding that would put some important national assets at risk?
