No, I am not asking Ms McGrath to do that. However, I imagine that were the OPW to examine the associated bills, there would be a way of establishing that some of them were attributable to work it was obliged to do in the then Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, which it was not obliged to do in Hawkins House because the former is a protected structure and that this work cost X amount. That would be helpful because the committee is trying to arrive at a fair overview of what additional costs were associated, which pushes the cost of the office under discussion significantly above the cost of the office in Hawkins House.
