One of the recommendations made by the Comptroller and Auditor General on foot of his findings was that this learning should be formalised. He also asked the OPW to account for the reason this had not been done in the first place. That is the first thing on which I would like Ms McGrath to comment. My second question relates to the manner in which the two projects were compared and contrasted. Did the OPW learn that it was better to outsource these projects or to keep them in-house? I would also like to come back to the overrun mentioned by the Chairman. It is clear from the figures given that it was a very serious overrun. If Ms McGrath addresses these issues, I will not interrupt her.
