Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

The original Government decision was taken in April to embark on a modular programme and the first phase of that was site identification. The OPW and the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage were involved in canvassing and identifying suitable sites for inclusion in the programme. There was a process of narrowing down candidate sites, which would have taken some time. If I am correct, the procurement process that led to the appointment of Sisk was probably completed in July.
