Mr. Conor O'Kelly:

It is extraordinary. One of the issues is legal challenge, which is common. The State is currently being challenged in respect of Grangegorman where a €200 million PPP has been delayed for a couple of years. Students have been unable to move on to the campus. A legal challenge has been taken against the State regarding the process itself. It is technical, laborious and open to challenge. The entire process has slowed down and people are now disinclined even to participate because of the time involved. There are flaws and it is an extraordinarily slow system.
