Dr. Pat Daly:

The lack of contractors is the bottleneck, as well as the physical damage to the property. This depends on the state of the property, what work contractors need to do, and what might be behind the wall that we did not expect. There might be a programme of works that then has to change because of an issue with the sewer line that has to be addressed. The issue is a mix of contracting and getting things done. The Department has been helpful in getting this processed.
