Mr. Feargal Ó Coigligh:
When we started looking at the project a couple of years ago when finances were a bit tighter it was decided to upgrade the National Archives buildings in Bishop Street on a three-phase basis. As the OPW brought in design teams to look at it, it began to make sense to do the whole building in one phase. That will lead to a better result and it will also have the potential to add capacity in future years. We are just finalising that process now to enable us to go out with a tender.
