Mr. Graham Doyle:
Met Éireann is taking over from the existing service that is provided under the Office of Public Works, OPW. It is trying to go further with the forecasting piece. I believe some of the delays were associated with trying to recruit specialist expertise in terms of radar systems, a flood forecasting database, a coastal model review, tide gauge, and all of these types of issues that require that expertise.
