I am not going to answer that question because I do not know how long it is going to take to get planning permission. Going back to the point raised by Deputy Durkan, I have purposely stated, at this committee and in replies to parliamentary questions from other Deputies, that I am not going to put a timeline on it.

We are working with Cork County Council to get the planning process finished as soon as possible and thereafter to appoint contractors for the construction. As for giving a notional date for completion today, I am not in a position to do so. I do not do that for any scheme.
