I will take a slightly different approach to looking at chapter 15 and getting some engagement on the issue.
It is taxpayers' money. This is the committee's role - the witnesses will appreciate that it is not personal. We have a job to do. Given the fact that legal proceedings were initiated yesterday, we are duty-bound to ask why.
Have changes been made to leasing procedures within the Department of Justice and Equality and the Chief State Solicitor's office? Has a revised due diligence been devised? What is the general overview? It does not touch on this case.
