Before Mr. McMahon comments, that circular stated, "The majority of works are procured via external contractors as OPW’s direct labour force has been significantly reduced and cannot fulfil the role for all property". It seems there was an acceptance within that that the austerity and staff reduction measures that had been put in place played a role in the outsourcing of these contracts in the first instance. Is that correct?
