When I asked that specific question, I was asking more about the service industries and entities such as banks that are hitting capacity and that wish to expand. There is a budget of over €100 million to maintain some of the Office of Public Works, OPW, sites. Garda stations have been closed down. Huge sums of money have been invested in various houses down through the years and they are of a high standard in central locations. Is Enterprise Ireland liaising with the Minister to access some of these buildings, which would need very little investment to bring them into use?
