In recent days concern has been expressed about the manner in which this project was allowed to reach a certain point with a low estimate. If full and final figures had been known at that stage - we have not yet seen them - people might have come to a slightly different decision. The worry is that people are happy to engage in the low-balling of prices until their projects have got through the Cabinet and the Government and reached the point at which they are so far gone that they cannot be stopped, even if costs are escalating.
