Mr. Maurice Buckley:

It is important. I must explain it now. It was referenced in the introduction from the Comptroller and Auditor General and in my introduction. The fit-out of a building this complex takes in the region of ten months. There was always going to be a ten-month period with no one in the building when our builders were, as quickly and efficiently as possible, preparing the building for occupation. When we get it, it is a shell or core and it is basic. It is the same as anything else. There was a delay – I am not saying there was no delay – but we must put a perspective on this. We needed approval to start the contractor on the fit-out in January 2017 as soon as we had possession. We were not able to give the go-ahead to the developer until July 2017 because we did not have sufficient agreement between the OPW and the client Departments. That is a six-month delay. We are renting the building for €10 million per year, so that is €5 million gross, and, if we take away VAT that is €4 million. One could attribute €4 million to the delay.
