The Houses of the Oireachtas Commission is important in this, but the OPW is the most important party. It spent the money, designed the bike shed, issued the contract and decided not to go to tender. It is the OPW that signed off on this and handed out taxpayers' money. Because Mr. Conlon has now reviewed all of this process and talked to the principal parties, I would like to know, outside of telling people about it, would he have stopped this project?
