I have a final question. Regarding temporary accommodation and modular unit systems, I am familiar with the delivery of a large-scale modular system in Mayo. In terms of planning, the project to complete the construction phase seems a long way off. According to a response to a parliamentary question, a demographic analysis of the construction element was being undertaken even though the project had been approved. I am trying to get an understanding of a project’s life cycle. My colleagues have already discussed this, but it would be useful if the committee was given an understanding of durations, project stages and what is required. Principals are asking us questions because they have no connection with the Department. There is a gap, so I ask the witnesses to provide this information when they have the time.
