The Commissioners of Public Works have accepted the recommendation, in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform Report on the Analysis of OPW Spending on State Rents that, further research / analysis is carried out into the balance between capital and current expenditure.

I am informed by my officials that discussions will commence with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to agree the scope of the required analysis, whether the research is best carried out internally or externally and the most appropriate means of funding the required research.  I would anticipate that the necessary research will commence immediately following agreement on these issues.
