Is Mr. Creegan suggesting that the business case analysis being done on various public projects can change based on a given view, for example, the view of the Minister, the Department or the authority? It seems to me that one can change the criteria to lend to a given person the outcome he desires, within reason. If we change certain fundamentals, the numbers will obviously change. That leads someone like me to believe that if the Minister or the Government take a decision not to proceed with the project and rework the business case - it is effectively the same raw data - then they can get a different outcome. Is that correct?
