Mr. Dermot Nolan:

I do not know about that specific issue. I imagine if there was a considerable capital outlay, it would have to come to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for consideration as part of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage's overall capital programme and how it would fit into the capital allocation for that Department. That would be a multi-annual project, so one would have to see how much it would cost over several years. The capital allocation for that Department would have to be seen in the context of what capital was available throughout the public service. That would be the context in which such a specific, large project would be considered.
