With regard to the system in Departments, whether it be the Office of Public Works, the Department of Health or the Department of Education, does the Mr. Moloney accept the process involved from the time we decide on a project, to it going for and securing planning, to getting it up and running is far too slow? Does he accept that process needs to be reviewed, given that in the private sector there is a far faster turnover time for projects from start to finish. A project in the private sector will be turned over in two years whereas in the public sector it can take anywhere from six, seven or eight years. How can we become more efficient in dealing with projects?
