Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

On that matter, it is probably best if it is dealt with in the context of consideration of the OPW and the appropriation account. As I recall, the site was actually in the ownership of the OPW. It is not that it identified and bought the site. As such, the issue really relates to whether it is a good option for delivering the service that is required, rather than being a procurement issue. The project is under way. I am not 100% certain what stage it is at. The Deputy raised questions previously in respect of whether it will provide the level of accommodation that is required by An Garda Síochána. The Garda will have a view on the issue as well. If An Garda Síochána appears before the committee, that might be a matter members wish to raise with it.
