Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (29 Mar 2018) Jonathan O'Brien: No, that is not my reading of it. If that is the case, Ms Licken can correct me on this but my reading of it is that construction started in 2009 and a site survey was carried out just prior to construction starting following the signing of the tender. My understanding is that three site surveys were carried out prior to any construction starting.

Vote 33 - Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (29 Mar 2018) Jonathan O'Brien: Would it be unusual for three site surveys not to identify any of the issues which subsequently became apparent once a fourth site survey was carried out, given the fact that the Department's architect also looked over it?
