Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020

Mr. Peter Walsh:

I hope we would get through An Bord Pleanála within two years. We could then commence the procurement process. The procurement process would take at least two years. We are suggesting that an element of the project could be in a public private partnership, PPP. In our experience of PPPs is that they have quite a long procurement period because there is a lot of due diligence and it is a complicated contract. It is important to get that right. One would want to be thinking in terms of two or two and half years for procurement. To commission and construct the project then would take between eight and nine years.
