This is what is wrong and I hope the media are picking up on this, although I acknowledge there are many other stories today with tribunal reports and everything. Mr. Buckley, as the head of the OPW, is telling me that this basic mistake does not warrant disciplinary action. That is shocking. I can tell Mr. Buckley if that was still his attitude and he was still in the private sector, he would be gone out of business.
Did the experts that the OPW secured to help with the procurement of the Miesian Plaza come to the organisation with a suggestion for a building that might work for it, or did the OPW go to them saying that this is a building it was interested in and ask them to negotiate on its behalf?
