Ms Clare McGrath:
Yes, our resources were provided in the development and design, and the preparation of the planning drawings, including resources from our architectural services, our civil and construction engineering services and quantity surveying services. There was a gap because we needed information on the ground conditions and we availed of an external provider. The total for the specialist planning advice - because we were engaged to take it to planning stage - was approximately €13,000.
