May I interject? I would be far happier if Mr. Allen had said he did not believe it was value for money and that he did not believe the event should have gone ahead. To come in here to try to justify the spending of scarce resources when tens of thousands of passengers who rely on Iarnród Éireann to go to work and college are facing disruption next week is regrettable. I can safely say that were the Minister, Deputy Ross, here in this position now, he would be talking about that swamp of waste and inefficiencies.
