Mr. Maurice Buckley:

The OPW has no formal role whatever in the children's hospital. There are many areas, such as education or the wider health remit, in which the OPW is not involved in any formal way. We have no involvement in project management or governance. One will often find, and this will have been the case with the children's hospital, that the OPW might be called informally to give technical advice, as the Deputy mentioned, on specific points of architecture or structural engineering issues that might arise during a project. It could be different things, such as site management. The OPW worked with the Central Bank on its headquarters project even though we had no formal role but we were able to give our building expertise where required.
