Mr. Martin Shanahan:

There is merit in the approach. We have done it elsewhere, although not necessarily in relation to data centres but in relation to advanced technology buildings or advanced office buildings. We would have brought them to the point of having planning permission but do not proceed to build them. However, we can say to a client that all the permitting is done. The project I referred to earlier and to which the Minister alluded is to identify the most suitable sites available. Some of them will be in public ownership while others may be in private ownership. We have to understand what is the optimum that we can market. As I already said to Deputy Neville, we are happy to consider the Askeaton site in that context.
