I shall outline the position that we find ourselves in. Please also excuse my sniffles. I have read the chapter and have a number of great concerns about the administration of the entire project. One would assume, for example, that any State agency wishing to acquire a new premises, involving substantial work and remodelling and a change of use, would have a keen eye for the planning status of such works. I would take that as read and a standard procedural reality, but it appears it was not the case. I am more worried that today, when asked about the interaction with Dublin City Council, Mr. Purcell was unclear as to who spoke to whom or how the matter arose. That is what I heard.
