It was totally incompetent and I rarely use words like that at this committee. To forecast the cost at €250 million and have the outturn at €1.2 billion shows me that the Department did not conduct a proper analysis. I refer back to the deferential attitude to the religious. It seems that persisted when officials were negotiating and making the indemnity agreement, to which I will return, and their predictions. That deferential attitude did not change and led them to making the wrong predictions. They can correct me if I am wrong.
