What prompts the question, and I will move on to something different then, is that in 2015 a new Garda station was approved for Bailieborough town in County Cavan. It is a very good job, it is in progress, it is lovely and it will be good. There is no issue there with the quality of what I have seen. I am not expert but it looks good. However, the station will not be open until next year at the earliest even though the project was approved in 2015, and that is why I ask about the new procedures. Are there any new procedures that might avoid such a delay in the future because that is crazy stuff, with respect? The Minister of State had not been appointed for a lot of this time so my question is not personal.
