Perhaps that question will be valid for a future Committee of Public Accounts. In terms of other capital expenditure and the disposal of capital assets, the Department transferred control of 15 schools, valued at €128 million, to school authorities in 2015. Will Mr. Ó Foghlú explain how that works to the committee? Does the Department still retain ownership, as distinct from control, of these schools?
