I am not just talking about the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage as the Department of Transport could be another example. If Mr. Moloney's Department's objective is to ensure capital projects are delivered on behalf of the State and it provides the funding for that, in order to be able to effectively oversee that delivery his Department needs to at least have the capacity to test what other Departments are saying to it about delivery of the projects. A key part of that is the capacity to test it technically as much as from an accounting perspective.
