What I would acknowledge is that we built the building that we were asked to build for the number of people who we were asked to be put into it and it took a number of years to build that building. An Garda Síochána expanded its resources, which it did because the Government ploughed funding into the Garda to increase the number of gardaí, while a Garda station and a Garda headquarters were under construction. We built the building as was laid out at the time to move from Harcourt Square in Harcourt Street. We have done that. The building is as was required at the time of the planning application and at the time of the request.
