Mr. Ciaran O'Connor:

We can only operate the sites that are offered to us. The selection rate of the ones we are offered is quite low, with 78% being deemed unsuitable. It is a significant issue for the Department and for us to try to address. You put a lot of time and effort into looking at something only to get such a high level of fall off. It is not the best use of our resources. For every eight sites we look at, we get one. That is something beyond us. We have to operate with what we are offered.
