I have an exercise for Mr. Nolan. Would he submit to the committee a table containing a breakdown of those costs, by year and by project, since TII's inception up until this year so that we can have a look at them? This is for public record. I would presume that those figures are quite high. There is no issue. TII has to go through a legal process. I understand all of that. I merely want to get an estimate of how much the lost benefit is costing across each project.

The issue here is this. We have this in other organisations as well. I would like the public to be aware of the volumes we are talking about. I am not saying there is anything wrong. We understand people have issues. There may be some cases which are vexatious. I am not saying there are any of them here or with this organisation. I would merely like to get across to the public the volume and scale of the figures we are talking about when it comes to TII.

With regard to the capital plans, would Mr. Nolan talk me through the process. I was a member of the Government that brought in the plan which Mr. Nolan has in front of us, and on which he has updated us. Are all the projects that were on the 2011-16 plan listed in this presentation?
