To follow on from what the two previous Deputies were talking about, I hear Mr. Conlon's frustration in relation to the site cost. It is clear he was very honest with the officials that this was a substandard site. It seems he was completely ignored. It seems they were willing to write a blank cheque and just get the job done even though Mr. Conlon was clear these were suboptimal sites. We now see this added €289,000 to the site costs. Does Mr. Conlon feel there was huge pressure on the OPW to get it delivered, to get on with the work and to say nothing?
