Mr. John McCarthy:

It would have varied quite widely. Some of the rapid build projects we have put in place have been much shorter than that while some of the more significant capital-intensive projects may have taken longer. We are going to track things against the 59-week period, which has only recently been put in place, to be able to target that. It is important to note that during that 59-week period, the project is only with the Department - in terms of its work - for 15 weeks. Sometimes one hears commentary about the four-stage approval process as if the process is in some way slowing the thing down. In reality, within that 59-week period, a project will need to be designed and go through planning and the actual tender process. If we had no four-stage approval process, it would only take 15 weeks out of those 59 weeks because that is the time the Department is allowed to complete its work.
