Mr. Alan O'Connell:

I do not have the specific estimates for the ceiling repair. The ceilings will be replaced in their entirety. Because of that, there is a requirement for the building to comply with the current building regulations. The building was designed and built in the 1970s. Bringing that particular building up to current regulation standards would include adhering to the Government's climate action plan in respect of the energy performance of the building. It will be an extremely expensive exercise to bring that particular building up to the standard required to meet current building regulations. If that were to be taken in isolation and no other works were done to the building, we would have to justify spending a considerable sum of money to meet current energy standards and building regulations while also having residents' bedrooms and spaces that were not up to the level of the best practice guidelines for layouts. Taking all of that into account will require an investment of a significant amount of money. It would be difficult because of the ro-fab nature of the building. The cost of doing all of that means it would be better for the building to be replaced rather than refurbished.
