Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

Most of the expenditure would have been borne on the Vote of the OPW. One is looking at hundreds of millions of euro being spent at that stage. If we did not pick it up in the sampling at that stage we could give no opinion on that specific line of expenditure, but if we tested a sample and found there was no systemic problem with it, that we could see compliance with procurement guidelines and with competitive tendering expectations and so on, then we would not have necessarily reported anything.
