I thank Mr. Conlon. I will move on because I am conscious of time.
The OPW's 2023 account showed a significant level of non-compliant procurement in respect of 61 contracts totalling €12.9 million. In 2024, that increased to 74 contracts at a total value of €16.2 million. The issue seems to be getting worse instead of better. Can Mr. Conlon commit to having no further instances of this going into 2026? I presume it is something of which he is very conscious.
