Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza (11 Oct 2018) Catherine Connolly: Níl a fhios agam an cheart "go raibh maith agat" a rá mar fhreagra ar an easpa ban, ach is rud eile é sin. I am looking at the spending review from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. It is a very good overview. I am not too sure about the conclusions. I wish I was here looking at the OPW in respect of the very important work it carries out. It looks after...

Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza (11 Oct 2018) Catherine Connolly: No, recalibrated in terms of the new measurements. I will go to paragraph 21.

Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza (11 Oct 2018) Catherine Connolly: And the overall area was the same. It just involved a recalibration of how to do it per square metre or square foot.

Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza (11 Oct 2018) Catherine Connolly: No message is to go out here that there was confusion over extra space. There was no extra space. It was the exact same building - just a different way of measuring. The OPW did not recalibrate. It was advised to do so but it did not do so.

Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza (11 Oct 2018) Catherine Connolly: Mr. Buckley spoke about this being a flagship building. I disagree with him and think that he should not have included that in his statement. What I would like have to seen in his statement were the issues outlined by the Comptroller and Auditor General - certainly the major issues with the figures being one of them. It would have been very easy for Mr. Buckley to do that rather than...
