Mr. Kenny was very frank and honest, but when he responded to Deputy Aylward he remarked that toll schemes had not performed as expected, not only in this jurisdiction but in also in other countries. The M3 has cost the taxpayers €12 million since it opened. I am not satisfied. I accept that the Comptroller and Auditor General says that based on the information he received from the TII, that there could be a situation where there is a net contribution back but we do not know if there is capacity to take it beyond the M3. The Chairman's remarks regarding the value for money of public private partnerships is very pertinent.
