Mr. David Moloney:
Within the Department, we get the information on proposals from the OPW and we send it out to external consultants. That is what we have to do. To some extent, it is not that resource-intensive an exercise within the Department. We have adequate resources in place but the nature and complexity of the work that is then done by the external consultants involves an amount of time.
