Let us look at projects with a cost greater than €250,000. That is roughly the new bar being placed in terms of the decision-making process by the principal officer. Ken Foxe broke this story, and a number of journalists have sought information through freedom of information, FOI, and they have told us their FOIs are being blocked. They are not even getting an acknowledgement in terms of FOIs on this project and others. Obviously the OPW has a statutory responsibility of transparency and to adhere to FOI legislation. Why is that the case?
