Engagement with Office of Public Works

Mr. John Conlan:

I want to emphasise that that followed an extensive review of security in this campus by the Garda Síochána technical advisory group. While it looks like, and is a fairly significant cost, there are very significant mechanical and electrical security system costs in that. There was also a significant cost to provide a temporary structure while that building was taking place. There was significant underground works. There was significant ventilation, data communications, CCTV, ramping into a control centre, a significant substructure, and a significant rerouting of underground services. So there was a huge security element to this project.
