In the case of County Laois, there is a new building.

On the basis of any glance at this system, and having tried to look at it as a layperson, I cannot see how you could run it, manage it or hand it to anybody and expect him or her to keep on top of it, because it has so many potential flaws and weaknesses. There are so many opportunities. There are so many links to the chain that if anybody pulls the plug along the way, the system collapses. That is evident to me because I have looked at this in depth over the past five weeks. I was trying to get to the bottom of it over the Christmas period.
