Could this issue be looked at? This was a simple situation of a contract sitting on someone's desk for four years with no one being able to make a decision on it. Likewise, we had an issue with the Garda station in Glanmire some years ago that took six years from the time the contract was submitted. This was before the Minister of State's time. Then there was a decision by the Department to withdraw from the contract but later, because of court proceedings, it ended up purchasing the building and proceeding with the project.

The point I make is that they are two examples where there was a total delay, which should not be happening if we are serious about trying to get projects through from start to finish.
