Mr. Ciaran O'Connor:
A property developer is there. What happened is that we are renting space for two Garda units. Part of the deal the developer who owns that property had with us was that in order for us to pay him, he had to make certain changes to two floors in the building. He has been behind time in doing that but the contingency we planned for has dealt with that. We have put the gardaí who would have gone to Clyde Road at the back of the building at 52 St. Stephen's Green, which we vacated a few months ago.
