Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

I will answer the last question. The Deputy will understand the State must protect its property. This is a very significant piece of property so there are ongoing security issues in regard to it given that it will be a sensitive site when it is built on.

In regard to the timelines, as I said, it will be two to three years after the signing of the phase two contract. We hope phase one will start towards the end of this year or early next year. If one looks at that timeline, one is talking about 2013.
