I thank Ms McGrath for helping members tease out this issue. While she has answered some of these questions in her written brief, obviously not everyone is privy to that and so I will ask her to put them on the record here. The OPW was responsible for meeting the cost of providing this office space. From where does it find that money? Ms McGrath has told Deputy Eoghan Murphy that there is no budget so to speak, in the sense there is no maximum or minimum, but the OPW keeps to industry norms. Obviously, however, as the money must come out of the office's budget somewhere, from where does the OPW find that money?
