I think that is key. As someone involved in these matters in my constituency and from commenting on them in the Oireachtas, I can see a clear thread of lessons across these different activities that should be picked up and made public. I hope the report we mentioned earlier will allow that to happen.
I wish to discuss PPPs in the educational sphere. The Comptroller and Auditor General made a point about post-implementation evaluation. From an educational point of view we are moving into future bundles of PPPs and a number of bundles - bundles 1 and 2 for schools - are already implemented. I ask Mr. Ó Foghlú to respond to the observation that the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General is not aware of work that has been done to look at post-implementation review and whether the actual costs and the benefits that materialised were in line with original assumptions.
