We can ask the OPW that. It is an issue we have teased out with it at previous meetings and the previous committee would have dealt with it as well. We have raised this. The Deputy is correct that any improvement is welcome. What is important to ask now is what steps have been taken at this point. We have addressed with the OPW previously the need to put measures in place to make sure the quantity surveyors are getting the figures right for properties that are being bought or leased by the State. I suggest that we write to Mr. Buckley and ask him what specific measures have been taken to minimise the risk of this happening again. Would that satisfy the Deputies?
