Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works
Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza

Mr. Maurice Buckley:

Absolutely, and what it would have done in the OPW brief. It is €300,000 per year. I do not dismiss the fact that it amounts to €10 million over the 25 years of the term, but even €300,000 would do a lot in the OPW Vote on the heritage side and, as Deputy O'Brien said, in healthcare, education, and other areas. I accept that fully, but I still come back to the same point, namely, overall this was a very good deal and, looked at in the round, the State is better off for having done it and it is also better off financially.
