Will someone untangle the mess on this spend rather than leaving it parked there? This is all I am asking. With respect, the Garda investigation can go on, but someone has to stop the deterioration of the property to the extent that there will be further losses to the taxpayer. Surely this is not a big ask of Mr. Heffernan's Department. His Department looks over the other Departments. His Department should look at how much money was spent, how it was spent and determine how best it can protect what was spent, in the interest of the taxpayer and the project itself which would be beneficial locally. Please do not allow the system to turn its back on what has been spent and to allow it to fester and rot. This is all I am asking. I do not want any discussion on it unless the witnesses wish to say something themselves. However, I ask that this will happen.
