Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (11 Nov 2020) Marc MacSharry: There is a question over €1.3 million. We established that Mr. Buckley okayed the signing of the lease. We established at the meeting in October 2018 that in February 2017 the OPW's chartered surveyor advised him that it had to be recalibrated. We put this deal in the hedge of our own during.

We will still be here, halfway through the...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (11 Nov 2020) Marc MacSharry: On another issue, and while I appreciate Mr. Buckley is bound by the directions of the Department that is looking for various properties, we bought a site at Caltragh in Sligo for a new Garda station which was to be part of a bundle of three Garda stations with Clonmel and Macroom in Cork. Is it the Garda Commissioner who directs that we do not need anymore? Is it the Secretary General of...
