Mr. Ciar?n O'Connor:

The site conditions in many cases. There were 45° slopes on certain sites and there were certain sites that had no services and were so remote that a separate bus service would have had to be set up in order to bring people to the nearest village.

Those elements were part of the consideration; it was not just a matter of building. We worked with the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth about local schools. We met the local authorities and elected representatives. The process was slower than we would have hoped for and the key was obtaining the sites. That is why the OPW gave four sites, which we have been using, and we have been adding the others subsequently.
