My own opinion is that the amount of money being spent on that project is an ongoing scandal. I suggest that in order to do a proper investigation into this matter that we would seek a change in our terms of reference. In that regard we could ask the Parliamentary Counsel to provide a note so that we can make the appropriate submission to whatever committee it might be with a direct request to allow us to investigate Poolbeg. That is what the public interest demands. If the members are agreeable we will proceed with the request.
