Mr. John McCarthy:

The council will have to make a judgment on the best avenue to utilise the investment already made. From the viewpoint of public funds, the council would need to be satisfied that there was a robust business case for progressing the project rather than throwing good money after bad. Other avenues it could look at would include exploring the extent to which there might be private sector interest in bringing the project to fruition. That is the space the council is in in considering the project.
