I am saying this to every Accounting Officer watching these proceedings. When there is something in the appropriation account, we expect representatives to bring the details with them when they come before this committee. The appropriation account lists four things and what those four things were is an obvious, stand-out question. The OPW will send the information to us but our guests will understand my point. If other people were here, they would give out to out guests twice as much as I am. It is included in the accounts and we would expect answers in respect of it.

The OPW is owed €14.2 million by various different Departments and agencies for work carried out. Can we have a breakdown and age analysis in respect of that? What does the OPW do to collect that? It has increased by €4 million over the year. Who are the biggest offenders for not paying their bills to the OPW for all its good work?
