Is it likely that the work will be done in Ireland, North or South? There are not that many foundries. I come from a family of foundry workers and I know much about the trade. There are not that many foundry businesses, although there are some, particularly north of the Border. My general understanding is that much of this work will go abroad. Has the Office of Public Works given any consideration to as much of the work as possible being done in Ireland?
