I welcome Mr. Watt and his colleagues. I have two supplementary questions that arise out of questions asked by Deputy Fleming. Is Mr. Watt satisfied that the Department of Health will not need a Supplementary Estimate this year? When tenders go out, are checks done in terms of the contractor's standing with the Revenue Commissioners to ascertain that the contractor is above board? I ask this because an allegation was made to me in respect of the construction of a particular school. I might have a private conversation with Mr. Watt afterwards about a particular case because serious allegations were made to me by a building trade union about how people were being paid under the counter.
