Mr. Michael Kennedy:

Going back 15 or 16 years to the beginning of the 2000s, cost-benefit analyses were done. It then took a number of years to get to the procurement stage of the scheme. When we did the post-project review, the look-back concluded that it should have been reappraised. As it happens, our guidance had moved during the middle of the decade. We had already put into our new guidance that this should be done more frequently and be more up to date. It is our current practice and we have addressed that matter. The Chairman is correct that this was the issue with the scheme at the Limerick tunnel, the city centre scheme and such. A tunnel scheme is a high-risk scheme. In market consultations, the view was that people would not come in to tender. We talked earlier in the day about competition and such. It was important for us to get the competition in.
