We have dealt with Mr. Robert Watt who, when it comes down to it, with the Office of Public Procurement is the top echelon as far as public administration is concerned. We then deal with the Department of Education and Skills underneath that when it comes to procurement and compliance. The Comptroller and Auditor General has been dealing with this for years. The Chairman asked Mr. Watt what is the solution. It is not being dealt out or directed from his office appropriately. There does not seem to be any great improvement and, in fact, with some agencies such as the HSE it has disimproved, contrary to what he said that day.
