I'm certainly not able to comment on what was done or said inside the Department of Public Works or between people in the Minister's Office and public officials. I was not involved in those discussions.
The only thing I can say, insofar as I was concerned, is that the process that was to result in a call for tenders and a possible move did in fact continue, in my opinion. You are referring to discussions that took place in a department other than my own and in which I was never involved. That has nothing to do with me.
