I have one question and I will then turn to Cork. How long, in real time, is it estimated to take between planning, design and up and down to the Department? I do not know why there so much going up and down. The county council should be given its money just as semi-State bodies are and spend it and if a mess is made of that, then it can account to the members and the auditor. Constantly going up and down to Dublin is controlling. That is way it works at the moment until we change it here. I accept it that is our responsibility. Taking all of those hoops into consideration, how long will it be before we sort out this issue on accommodation?
