Mr. John O'Driscoll:

I am not aware of the knowledge that existed about how many stations were still available to open. Other stations closed in Dublin but one, Whitehall station on Griffith Avenue, was converted into a facility for the State pathologist and other stations had been utilised for other reasons. When the criteria were provided, the station had to be from among available buildings. I do not know the extent of others' knowledge of how confined those criteria were.
