These are round figures. Well, now, when the average citizen, the poor mere Irish, have dealings with a Government Department, their liability is brought down to the last farthing, and they are squeezed by every machinery available to the State to get that last farthing. But the enterprising tenant who is spreading his sails for the purpose of disappearing back to his native health in Great Britain informs the Board of Works that, after making examination of the damage and holding himself out to the Board of Works as an expert peculiarly fitted to make that estimate, that he is prepared to repair the damage and sets out the cost at £6,500, the poor innocent, soft-hearted Department of Finance accepts from him about £2,000 in discharge of all claim. I never yet was able to discover why that settlement was arrived at, and I think it is only fair to give the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Finance this opportunity of telling Dáil Eireann the reasons why it was arrived at. I do not know whether we have a new tenant now, but if we have I trust it will not be a tenant who will do depredations in the place; but if he is, I hope some proper measures will be taken to ensure that when he leaves the premises he will be at least prepared to pay what he himself declares to be the measure of the damages done in the course of his tenancy, and not a sum approximately one-third of what he himself thinks would be a fair estimate of the repairs for which he was responsible.
