Another project in west Cork has been pulled by the OPW because of the cost. That project is regarded as too big. It concerns a coastal station. I have been involved in that for the past four to five years.

The latest on that is that it was pulled because the cost was way too much and they are now going back into planning again to go forward with a smaller building and a smaller project. Where projects drag on for up to 12 years, there are then budgetary pressures and increased costs. Is there now a need for the OPW to look at the whole process from the time a project is proposed to the contract stage?
