This can be put out to the market for design, build and finance, which was done, for instance, when I was in Cork City Council. We wanted an extension to the city hall. I remember getting in the tender documents and there were about 12 boxes of documents, per tender. It worked successfully. We had the project done in two years. As a result, now, the cost of doing it is far less than if we had gone through the whole process.
