Dr. Ciaran Byrne:

We do not have a timeline per se. We are driving as hard as we can to get as many in as quick as possible because, as the Deputy has mentioned, 12 contractors and quite a significant demand. We have been out in the marketplace talking to contract companies, reaching out to them and explaining the situation we have at the moment. Our one-stop-shops are experiencing significant demand. We have very significant grants in play. We have clear long-term Government policy and funding. In terms of any business, we are saying that this is a really good opportunity and we are seeing a reach in from wider parts of the construction sector. Some of the prospective one-stop-shops would come from a different part of the construction sector and they are looking at this option as a business opportunity.

What we are also seeing is an element of what I would call a positive contagion effect. Some companies are getting in, setting up and seeing business happen and other companies are looking at them and saying "we can have some of that kind of action too." We are being quite strict in terms of quality and the ability to scale up and deliver end-to-end processes. Some of the companies themselves, because they are so busy, are probably a little bit slower in getting back on some of the quality management systems and some of the requests we have for them.
