The fact that this has gone on since 2003 and it is now 21 years later is fairly significant.

No. R2812 was received from the office of the Chairman of the Office of Public Works, dated 23 September, provides a response to the committee’s request that the OPW attends a meeting of the committee on 10 October. The letter states that the Chairman has a long-standing commitment to chair a meeting of a stakeholder group on that day and he requests that the committee considers postponing the proposed meeting to a later date. I propose that we discuss this matter later on first because I think there is some information that civil servants may want to share with us, briefly in private session and then we will go back into public discussion to give Members a chance to comment and ask some questions. Is that agreed? Agreed.

We are still in public session, so Deputy Murphy should proceed.
