Refurbishing an historical building is not the same as refurbishing a modern building because the same set of circumstances does not pertain. It is important to learn from this, not on the side of the Houses of the Oireachtas Service but rather in terms of how the OPW has a profile of appearing to underestimate figures when it is almost impossible to be right in a scenario involving an historical building. It is an important point and an amendment should be made in that regard.
