At least we will know where to ask once we receive a list of the Departments in question.
We have spent most of the meeting talking about flood defences, although they account for only around 25% of the OPW's budget. Most of its budget relates to the estate portfolio management side, for which the figure is €312 million this year and will be €309 million next year, according to the Estimates published in mid-October. On estate management, Ms McGrath has said rents have fallen from €113 million in 2008 to an expected €94 million this year.
