Mr. David Moloney:

The actions taken to date by the OPW have met the concerns that we have. Obviously, we will continue to examine that to see if our frameworks need to change in any way. Some of the instances were very specific. They were related to projects that fell below a certain monetary limit. The two things that we have to manage at the same time are the need to drive value for money across all projects of all scales and to make sure that taxpayers' money has an impact. There is also a strong sense that where we overly regulate, or where the level of regulation that we apply in areas is overly complex, that actually imposes costs and reduces value for money. In terms of our activities, there is always that trade-off.
