We are not going to solve it now. The bottom line is that it was poor practice not to go in. Whether the OPW decided off the record, privately and internally that the Central Bank or George's Quay, for example, was not appropriate, in its brief TWM ought to have listed the five options it was looking to have. We are all human and TWM is only as good as the target set for it. What I am suggesting to the witnesses is that we set the bar pretty low. Who determined that the offices had to be located close to Leinster House?
