The plants, trees and shrubs are unique species from various suppliers across Europe.

Therefore, a change of economic operator isn't possible as Diarmuid Gavin is the only designer with the necessary knowledge and business relationships to order the plants, trees and shrubs without creating a substantial duplication of costs for the Council."
