In fairness to the three previous speakers, they have asked Mr. Conlon a number of questions and they have given him the opportunity and he said, as is his right, that he was not in position then. However, Mr. Conlon has been in position now for a while. Mr. Conlon has made it clear that he is not aware of anything else. That is fine.

I find the situation with the modular homes astonishing. I will start at the very beginning before we get into the actual details of the spend here. How did the OPW end up with this? For me it was bizarre that the OPW ended up doing this work in the first place. Did the OPW fight back? I believe it logically would have been the Department of housing, given the local authority nature of what was required since it is over housing. How did the OPW end up with this and did it fight back against it?
