We are bound by legislation to ensure that all public buildings are fully accessible. I will return to that in a moment. In your opening statement, you made reference to the work that was done within the Oireachtas over a two-year period at a cost of €17 million. It was a considerable amount of work at considerable cost. You said in the past it was value for money. People will ask, and indeed, the question should be asked as to who looked at the scope of that work. Was disability access part of that? Retrospectively, a disability audit is being carried out but was that part of disability proofing in relation to the scope of works that were to be embarked on? Who led that project? Was this only the OPW or was a needs assessment carried out?
