Vote 10 - Office of Public Works (23 May 2013) Eoghan Murphy: I thank Ms McGrath and her officials for attending the committee. Regarding the sites under the OPW’s charge and their tourism potential, does it examine each site for potential to raise revenue from tourism? For example, I note many tourists outside the gates of Leinster House on weekends, stopping and taking photos. Has the Dáil been considered as a potential tourism site on...

Vote 10 - Office of Public Works (23 May 2013) Eoghan Murphy: I will now turn to Chapter 14 - Measuring Procurement Performance. If one turns to the penultimate page of the Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General 2011 on page 194, paragraph 14.39 states that based on the four areas of procurement reviewed, the savings identified by the National Procurement Service are not reliable and are not suitable for use as a performance measure....
- Public Accounts Committee: 2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 10 - Office of Public Works (23 May 2013) Eoghan Murphy: Does that mean that the savings reported in 2011 are not reliable indicators of the actual savings achieved because they were estimates and we have not yet determined the actual savings?
