In terms of the decisions on money that has been spent and subsequent difficulties that arose, refer for example, to Carrisbrook House, Ballsbridge, an office leased by the Government of which a substantial part is vacant and the vacant space is costing €1.2 million. It has been like that for a number of years. When an issue like that arises at the Committee of Public Accounts at which officials from the Department of Finance attend, does the Secretary General engage with the OPW regarding the lease and does a discussion take place as to how best to bring a lease with no return to the State to a conclusion?
