I ask the members to agree that we will get some information on this project. A file was sent to us a while ago and the person who sent it has asked us to look at it again. We may have dealt with it at some stage but I have it here.

The other issue I wanted to ask about was the contract being put in place for the construction of the Luas extension. Can we get a note on the process? The information I have is that there was a €12 billion difference between the company appointed and the company that failed in terms of the tender cost. If this is the case I would certainly like to see an explanation, but we must check first whether it is the case and what are the circumstances around it. I am sure we are entitled to know, as it is a public issue.

Will the Clerk bring the members up to date on the SIPTU fund that was asked about a number of weeks ago, and the Kerins case?
