Ms Katherine Licken:

Deputy Aylward is absolutely correct, that does not make this one right, but I am just putting some context on it. We also delivered the Wexford Opera House, which is a magnificent facility, around that time and, again, it was on time and under budget. It is not all bad news. However, I share the Deputy's concerns about this project. I cannot answer for the professional bodies that do surveys and why such surveys do not throw up things. I would say, however, that when one is building on a brownfield site in a medieval quarter of Galway there is always a risk and perhaps we should have asked those questions about the area. The site had not been purchased when we agreed the grant but when one is building on those kind of sites where there is archaeological remains, where one is beside the river and where there are floods and older buildings next door, there is always a risk and with the best will in the world I am not sure that-----
