Ms Clare McGrath:

There may have been a commitment in the Department of Justice and Equality in regard to how it might be relocated. That commitment on Kevin Street Garda station was separate. In the interests of this contract, we would have stated if it would not be ready, we would be looking at alternative accommodation. In fairness, all the parties involved in the contract were conscious of this contract.
