I wish to just follow up on what the Minister said about PPPs. Is it currently the position that each Department assesses its own PPPs, for example, the Department of Education and Skills examines the PPPs for the building of schools or third level institutions? Is it done on a departmental basis currently? One of the things the IMF included in its recommendations is that the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform would take an overall approach to PPPs. What is the current situation and how does it work?
