Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

If a union has a concern, it can approach us. We have direct dialogue with all of the unions. There are a number of ways by which we can learn about things and decide on where we might ask the organisation undertaking the random audit to look. To learn more from the process, we have even asked the company to provide a monitoring service for the full construction of a school from start to finish in order to establish the value added. One of the things about the labour market and the construction sector - the Government announced another stimulus package yesterday - is that the sector keeps changing all the time and new issues emerge. Bonds were an issue last year and it is quite possible that increasing costs are going to emerge as an issue this year on foot of increased demand. Our basic build costs have risen slightly in the past year and we have raised the standard amount for basic build costs. The sector continues to change and we must be as flexible as possible.
