I have no issue in respect of overtime and that aspect. That will be accounted for in respect of this visit. There was quite a short lead-in time in terms of the known date and procurement for other aspects such as fencing and so on. It does not strike me that there was time to have adequate procurement on this with multiple tenders and so on. There is an issue around that. What are the various aspects under the remit of the Office of Public Works, OPW? We know about the Garda Síochána. What are the other headings? I think there is an issue in respect of one or two things. It would be useful to write to the OPW asking for the headings of those so we can see if there is an issue with the fairly sizeable amounts. I am not talking about high-visibility jackets and things like that. I am talking about the serious spending.
