Presumably the unanticipated costs were based on the fact that the jet was so old. Those costs were growing. Was that not something that would be scoped? How did the Department arrive at the figure of €400,000 that was allowed for? It had to be surpassed on one occasion. Was there any point in having that figure in the first place if it had to be surpassed and the Department knew it had to be surpassed?
