Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza (11 Oct 2018) Marc MacSharry: Exactly, because that is what we do in Ireland. We set regulatory standards for everybody else except the people at the top. Mr. Buckley understands the point I am making. I agree he may have a team with access to the largest payable rent roll in the country, and who have access to the most square footage, at 800,000 sq.m or 900,000 sq. m, for civil servants, but we have chosen not to make...

Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza (11 Oct 2018) Marc MacSharry: Crudely, IPMS3 does not include service cores but does include the pillars and is measured to the window. This accounts for the 3% or 4%. The OPW negotiates a price, directly or through its agents, with the owner or landlord based on net lettable area, effectively divided by the number of square feet, to come up with a per square foot area, and then multiplies this by the bigger area, which...

Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza (11 Oct 2018) Marc MacSharry: Yes, but then typically there is a joint measurement. This was done by Hollis. Is this correct?

Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza (11 Oct 2018) Marc MacSharry: That would be useful. I am interested in knowing whether officials sign documents without reading them. This was not just, as Mr. Buckley said in his opening statement, one of the biggest lease deals ever done by the OPW. It was probably the biggest in the given year in all of Ireland. It is worth reading something before it is signed. I would not have the expertise of the big valuer...

Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza (11 Oct 2018) Marc MacSharry: Who advised Mr. Buckley on this? Surely he knows whether it was the responsibility of John, Mary or whoever to advise him but that person did not. He should ring HR, get the person up there and start a disciplinary process immediately.

Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza (11 Oct 2018) Marc MacSharry: Here we are again. This is what we consistently see here. It is the culture of systemic failure with no individual responsible. We are talking about €10 million. So far it has cost us €17 million because of the delay, and I appreciate Mr. Buckley is saying the OPW had to do the fit-out, and then there will be a payment of €344,000 per year after that. So far, nobody...

Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza (11 Oct 2018) Marc MacSharry: No, I want to see what are the internal documents. If it is down the field where all of these professionals or somebody made a mistake, who made the mistake? What procedure now exists in the OPW to deal with the difference between IPMS 3 and net lettable area being X so it will not sign leases unless all of these things are calibrated.

Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza (11 Oct 2018) Marc MacSharry: Can we look forward as State and as a Committee of Public Accounts to a disciplinary process that realises tangible sanction against an individual or individuals responsible for costing the people money because of a basic maths mistake, which is not as complex as Mr. Buckley has outlined?
