Dr. Fergal Lynch:
It comes out of the public pocket. I think it was a difficult situation where people were being moved. I was disappointed to see some of the public coverage where there was a claim that assistant principal officers in either Department were in some way delaying this. The practical realities related to logistics, designs, availability of the fit-out and so on, rather than assistant principal officers or any other grade deliberately delaying the move. We were ready to move. We were the first to move, on 21 May, over the space of a single weekend. We did not lose a day or even an hour's worth of our work. We did a lift and shift over the weekend and were back up and running on the Monday morning.
