Mr. Maurice Buckley:

The dialogue with Mr. Morgan has been in train for a number of years. The first time these were mentioned was going back to 1999, well before 2014. As Deputy Kelly quite rightly points out - the Deputy's chronology is correct - the matters escalated in 2014 when they were formally raised with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform as part of the review. At that stage, they were thoroughly investigated by the OPW, by my predecessor, Ms Clare McGrath. It was very thoroughly done. A good action, I think, was to involve the person, two members of staff, actually, at the time in the process. They are very experienced valuers. These are senior people. These are people who we would really respect and whose views we would take very seriously. I, personally, certainly would be concerned at the issues raised and want them addressed, and that was done in-depth during 2014-2015. Various conversations took place. Various reports and various interim feedback took place. As Deputy Kelly correctly states, in November-December 2017, a full report was issued. That report dealt with the same issues.
