I understand that. Major taxpayers' money is going into this and we all support that. We have great new school building programmes and they have been very successful. However, there have been many defective buildings and much of it from what we can garner from what has happened is that it was due to bad practices on a day to day basis. Who is in the eyes and ears on the ground of the Department of Education and of the taxpayer on those sites, making sure that elements such as wall ties are fitted and that proper standards in safety and construction requirements are being met? Who is that person on a day to day basis?
