Ms Clare McGrath:

That is the difficulty. No, there was not. There are instances where we carried out refurbishment work. The Office of Public Works has care of a considerable number of buildings. The Deputy will note that we referred to 2013. We now have funding for maintenance works. We do not get many opportunities to step into Departments and ask that the work would be paused because we want to carry out important maintenance work. When a Department has a fit-out requirement due to a change in function or a reorganisation of the Department we take the opportunity to carry out essential, proactive maintenance rather than addressing a problem at a later stage. When there are operational issues within Departments that they wish to have addressed, we take opportunities to undertake maintenance work as well. We will perhaps carry out work in ministerial areas but it is not specifically to provide ministerial accommodation.
