There was additional work required. The original review that came back recommended three sites. We went with the Cork and Limerick sites. We did not agree that the Dublin site was the right one to go for. I am not sure how much I can say but I will say it anyway.

The view within the Department, which I share, and I think has been expressed by members of the committee, is that we should build on our land wherever we have it.
