We are aware of that. What we are delving into here is how quickly a Department acts when it actually raises concerns itself. The answer is - not very quickly.

This was an entity for which the Department was responsible. The response that the Department did not even...

Along with the Minister, I worked on the initiative over recent years and I sought to extend it beyond Georgian buildings.

Has someone in the Department not understood that in many cases Georgian buildings ranging in size between 300 sq. m and 400 sq. m are the ones that need the attention? The...
