180. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the involvement the OPW or its agents have in the management and control of a centre (details supplied); if the OPW is in full control; if the recent change of the maintenance and security company was done and approved by the OPW; and if so, how it is that a properly established company is allowed to lose a contract and be reportedly replaced by one dominated by JobBridge employees; if he will clarify the position; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Northside Civic Centre, which is in the ownership of the Office of Public Works (OPW), is leased to a number of organisations. A facility management contract is in place to provide various services to the building and its occupants. This has been re-tendered recently by the OPW and a new contract is due to commence on the 1st January 2016. The new contract agreement provides for the transfer of any employees, as is normal in this type of contract, under the same terms and conditions. The detailed arrangements for the transfer of responsibilities, under the new contract, to the incoming service provider have not been finalised as yet.
