As the Deputy knows, the agency did not own the land in Carlow and had to acquire a site through the open market. This was a lengthy and complicated process that resulted in the overall completion objective for the facility being delayed. I will certainly keep a close eye on the timelines I have given the Deputy and I have no doubt he will keep an even closer eye on them. I look forward to the completion of the facility. The Deputy has been raising this matter with me since I became Minister about a year and a half ago.
