Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza (11 Oct 2018)

Alan Kelly: It is a very large report. I have it here. I want to get back to the issue because this is turning into a bit of a riddle. We all know what happened with the Comptroller and Auditor General, this committee and the report that was done in 2014 and all of that. The OPW, subsequently, asked for this report to be done. Is that correct?

Alan Kelly: That report was done in November 2017 by two individuals. One of those individuals is retired, at the moment, and the other is still working there. Is that correct?

Alan Kelly: That report was then sent to the OPW. Following the OPW's request for it to be done in the first place, the report has since been sent to the Comptroller and Auditor General and he will do what he does best. I look forward to his report. I genuinely do. I want to know the following, however. There was a process in place and a request from the OPW to have this report done. The report...

Alan Kelly: The issue of Thornton Hall has been aired quite a bit. We all know the taxpayer lost out massively. Some of the details of the others, however, have not been aired and certainly not with the knowledge in this report. This is down to a level of detail that has never been seen before. I am completely dissatisfied with the manner of the response being given here. I came in here to give Mr....

Alan Kelly: I was interrupted earlier. I have one last question I want to ask on Miesian Plaza and then I will come back to this. The change in the measurement protocol slipped in or fell in, or whatever phrase Mr. Buckley used earlier in an unfortunate choice of words that I will not hang him on. Is there any documentation that warned that the change in the measurement protocol was going to cause an...

Alan Kelly: In regard to this documentation, with respect, I find Mr. Buckley's answers to be deeply concerning. As far as I am concerned, on the issues raised here, the lessons have not been learned to the level I would have expected. I cannot be guaranteed the internal changes have happened in the OPW. By extension, I do not have any confidence as a result of what I have seen in this documentation...
