Was that bad planning on the part of the Department? In the course of 2011, the decision was made to write of €2.8 million and €1 million even though the Department was aware since 2008 that there were serious difficulties with the public finances and that even the €2.8 million would have been hard to come by. In spite of that, the Department proceeded. Who planned the spending of this money? The Department does not seem to be very good with buildings.
