I agree. This man has made considerable effort to inform us. He has gone to great trouble and gone out on a limb. That is important. He is asking us to make a quick decision which is difficult for us in our work programme. He did ask to meet us and I believe we did agree to do so in theory. Perhaps I am wrong. The issues he is raising are not merely historic. He is raising processes and he is also talking about the inadequate, according to him, financial model under which the Office of Public Work operates. I am no expert. I can only read it and note the concerns. I will be guided by the committee but we should listen to him and take it from there.
