I thank our witnesses for being here. It is good to engage with the OPW again. I thank them for the information they supplied in advance of today's appearance. I will start with the non-compliant procurement issue that was raised previously. I understand from the Comptroller and Auditor General that it was raised in 2022 and Mr. Conlon said that it was as a result of internal controls that the OPW found out that there was an issue. The first item that was flagged was valued at €12.9 million. The OPW detailed a number of the elements involved. I ask Mr. Conlon to go through it again. The capital works amounted to €11.4 million, while security ran to €500,000, including ICT and so on. There are a number of different areas covered by this €12.9 million. How come, collectively, there was a failing in terms of non-compliance? How did this come about?
