Mr. John Conlan:

I do acknowledge that the location chosen turned out to be probably the most expensive location that could have been chosen. The location followed a lot of discussion with the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission. As I indicated in my review, there were other locations that could have been chosen that would have been far cheaper, particularly in the westward area and areas like that. The decision to locate the shelter there was made between the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission and the OPW after a lot of engagement on where it should be put. Some options were ruled out and that is where they ended up.
