I would advise the Deputy that I have no function in the matter of accommodation arrangements at the Central Bank and that the matter has not been discussed at Cabinet.

I understand from the Central Bank that based on current construction programme projections and planning time lines, it is expected that the Central Bank would occupy the new building on the North Quays by the second quarter of 2015.

The Bank has stated on a previous occasion that any relocation of its headquarters may involve the retention of some activities in its building on Dame Street for a number of years in any event, as the relocation would not take place quickly.
