Mr. Joseph Nugent:
We have small allocations at station level, where people can do some minor works, although the OPW, too, provides for some of that. In the context of the conversation with Deputy Kelly, where we get into difficulty is when the money sits on one part - it does not matter where it is - while responsibility for the delivery of the service sits elsewhere. Whether that sits on our side or on the OPW's side, the money should follow the activity, which is where I recommend we look to.
