What would happen if there was an issue of concern within the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, for example, the national children's hospital? We are acutely aware that work did not recommence on the hospital and there was a dispute. We can read into that what is happening there. How does the Department maintain oversight of something such as that? Is there a reporting mechanism to the Department if there is a potential overspend? What metric is used in this regard?
