I appreciate that the €5 million rent could be used to rent another building but let us be clear, Harcourt Square is the nerve centre of the Garda, it is where CAB is located. It is not just a case of going to another building, but replacing the entire infrastructure that has been built up over many years. When one looks at the allocation for refurbishments, it does not include a sum to meet the amount of money that would be required to fit out a temporary building for An Garda Síochána.
