Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael)

I have no doubt the Minister is aware of the great work being done at the EPA headquarters in Johnstown Castle, County Wexford. Many people are employed there thanks to decentralisation, and it is a welcome addition to County Wexford and its economy. The EPA is under severe space restrictions there. Can the Minister confirm when construction of the new extension will begin? I have no doubt he is well aware of the space required, or that the EPA has regularly been in contact with his Department about the issue.
