Public Accounts Committee

2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works

9:30 am

Mr. John Conlon:

As the Deputy knows, as regards these types of capital outlays, we need to get the sanction of the Department of public expenditure. We made a case to the Department and, as regards its response to us, as I recollect, and I do not have it in front of me, I think its view was that the valuation we wanted to pay was slightly too high.
