My question was on when this was initiated as a Government policy and when it will be concluded. Is Mr. Ó hÓbáin, as a senior civil servant, happy that there has been maximum efficiency in the context of the time lag? Is it appropriate for it to take three and a half years, perhaps four, from the time the Government took the policy decision? At this stage there is only an assumption that it will, eventually, get started.
