Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour) | Oireachtas source

Reverting to Deputy Fleming's original question, is responsibility not disparate? The OPW is responsible for the upkeep of Leinster House, but the Oireachtas commission determines policy on what must be done and the OPW is brought in as the contractor. Strictly speaking, it is not a contractor, but it performs the work. Is the OPW's control over that not limited? Consider a subject we have discussed previously, namely, energy efficiency. Leinster House is probably the least energy efficient building in Ireland, but no one wants to know about it and Ms McGrath will tell me that it is a matter for the Oireachtas commission, not the OPW. Or will she?
