I seek clarification, and perhaps the Comptroller and Auditor General can tell us. With regard to the Office of Public Works renting out buildings, has there been a change of policy or something we have missed with regard to a direction from the Government or any Government on the office of Public Works getting market rent for its premises? With regard to the buildings identified following the 2009 Ryan report, in 2002 cash and property was to be handed over. The Comptroller and Auditor General has followed up on this. Deputy Cassells and I have raised concerns about buildings that were on the list but have not been handed over. I will take the specific example, to make it easy, of Lenaboy Castle, Taylor's Hill, Galway, which has not been handed up. Where can we follow up on this? This is 2017. It is down on the list that it was handed over in 2009. I have chosen one example in which I have a particular interest. In fairness to Deputy Cassells, he has raised the issue also. Where can I follow up? Who is following up on this?
