Mr. John McCarthy:

I have heard that from many chief executives directly. When I go and check in the Department, it might be "with" the Department but I will not say publicly what I say afterwards when I see what is actually there.

The Chairman referred to five years and I am not arguing that point with him. What I am saying is that Rebuilding Ireland has been in place for just over two years. Within less than a year and a half, we had worked through a revised one-stage process and a much shorter, targeted, timelined, four-stage process. We have been quite active in trying to make sure that the build programme that we envisage going on a sharp upwards trajectory has the systems to support it.
