I appreciate that. Why is the facility temporary? Why can it not be continued? Can we not apply for a derogation? The outlay for the State agencies is €11 million of taxpayers' money for a state-of-the-art facility and staff are in the lap of luxury. Why do we feel the need to utilise space, that is very much space we do not have in the port facility, when we could easily apply for a derogation to continue with the current arrangement?
