If officials from another Department were with me and talking about any of those things, I would say they might be explainable on the basis of there being other areas of expertise within the Department. The OPW’s core business is all these things. Surely there is a framework tender that allows the OPW to implement solutions. I am thinking about local authorities, which have a framework tender for the maintenance of their properties. Some of what Mr. Conlon has described would appear to be fairly routine.
