Ms Rosemary Collier:

The Chairman has alluded to how we are learning lessons and are looking at our processes and systems to improve those. We have standards and processes in place for our teams that they must follow. We have to empower our teams to do the work. We are delivering a huge programme of work across Dublin. There are 600 buildings and 110 of them are historic. There are a huge range of programmes of work that have to be delivered and people have to be empowered to follow the processes and systems we have in place. It goes back to the judgment call piece. The costs here can be explained; it is just whether they are value for money or not. We all agree with the Senator's assessment that this does not represent value for money. Would it represent value for money at a lower level? It might, depending on the design and the cost but that is not what we are talking about here. We are talking about this particular instance.
