We have to time this and have some output from it. There is no point in meeting and not doing anything about it afterwards. We have to timetable in such a way that we meet the individual and then follow up, but we need to know what the follow-up is likely to be. Could we get any correspondence we have on this in advance of the meeting? There are matters concerning the OPW in regard to some of the work, for example, on historical buildings where the contingency is set at a certain level. The position is not realistic. It is very hard to see how a Department can budget for works if there are flaws. There are a number of issues that merit full understanding, not just a meeting for us to gain an understanding. It is a matter of our gaining an understanding in order to do something. That is what we have got to decide.
