Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

Is it accurate to summarise the Minister's reply by saying he does not have the money earmarked for this project as yet and that he is still in the Estimates process? Returning to the question I asked, the Minister will recall before the collapse of the PPP, when I asked if he was sure the developer, the preferred bidder, was able to deliver, he got up on his high horse and told me he would never speak to a developer, that would be a dreadful thing to do.
