I will use parochial examples, but they have a general implication. For example, the pedestrianisation of Galway city was shelved - the liability was shelved. Would it have occurred to anyone to do a value for money audit of that? There were a lot of complaints about it at the time and it remains a mess. I am not given to exaggeration; it remains a total mess and the precise wording was: "We have shelved the issue of liability for the moment". Here we are in 2018. What about a value for money audit?
