I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I will refer initially to the national children's hospital and the current progress of the project. The last time the Chairman and myself went out to visit the site I think there were 450 people working on-site at the time. It was explained to us that when it comes to a certain stage, the numbers working on the site will have to increase substantially as regards fit-out and all the necessary specialists who need to go in from electricians to plumbers and so on. My understanding is that in any major project a time chart is made out on which there are targets to be met by certain dates. What is the position in terms of meeting those targets? Are we ahead or behind in terms of those targets for reaching a certain scale by the end of each month?

My second question relates to accessing people to do the work. Due to the scale of this project and because it is competing with a huge number of other large commercial projects in Dublin city as regards availability of people to do the work, where are we with making sure that we have the people to carry out the work as the project progresses? Is there any aspect of the project about which concerns have arisen regarding shortage of supply for any part, whether it is in regard to labour skills, materials or the timescale for accessing the site, because with heavy traffic in that area it is not always possible to deliver to the site when it is needed? Mr. Barry might give us some idea of the challenges on that. Will we meet our targets and are there concerns of which we need to be aware?
