I saw that. The Committee of Public Accounts report from July 2017 contains a number of aspects quite critical of the OPW. One of the conclusions we made was that the fact the Garda college was leasing land from the OPW highlights a very worrying weakness in the management of State assets. It was indicated that Dromard farm may well have an impact on the Garda Vote. Did it have such an impact? The committee noted that funds to be paid to the OPW for the lease of Dromard farm would be taken from the Garda Vote, which may have an impact on Garda services. Where will the money be taken from? Has it been considered at this stage? What would be the expected amount in question?
