Mr. Ciaran O'Connor:

It is a legal commitment. When the Deputy mentioned the different figures, this situation goes back to 2007. It was agreed at that time that a project would be undertaken on Military Road. It was actually on the site where the new Garda multitask group is now located. Because of the financial crash and the OPW not being in a position to proceed with the project, the group behind the programme took a legal action in September 2013. The outcome of that action was that the OPW would give a commitment to execute the project. When that did not proceed in the timeline the group thought was appropriate, an arbitration case was taken and the OPW lost.
