Kate O'Connell: The company needs to show what standard procedures it, allegedly, has in place should there be a break down in the system.

Kate O'Connell: That is an awful lot of fit-out. I speak as somebody who has fitted many places out. There is a tonne of fit-out in €1.068 million. Did the Department rip the fittings out and sell them on? Normally when one takes on a lease, one returns the property in the condition in which one got it. What happened here? Did the Department clear the fittings out and put them in a skip? Was...
