Perhaps the Comptroller and Auditor General might respond to my next point. In the light of the fact that, as part of Government policy, multi-annual budgeting applies across the various Departments, it is amazing that it does not obtain in the OPW. The work it carries out is not based on a 52-week process. A period of 52 weeks is a short timeframe for the type of work the office does, particularly in carrying out preparatory works and bringing projects to completion. However, it is amazing that, of all Government offices and Departments, it does not have a multi-annual budgeting process in place.
