Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

We absolutely appreciate the point. With regard to how long it takes for an offer to come to fruition, it very much depends on the nature of the offer. An offer of serviced accommodation can be brought into play almost immediately. If significant capacity is offered to us, we will move on it very quickly. If there is an offer that involves some level of repurposing or refurbishment, the length of time it takes varies on a case-by-case basis. It very much depends on the scale of works involved. A major refurbishment may go to the refurbishment programme of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. We will take on short-term quick turnaround refurbishment. It is on a case-by-case basis. The contract negotiations that can be involved are also individual in terms of how quickly all of it can be transacted.
