Ms Katherine Licken:

Yes, it was on foot of a full submission to the Minister. In 2015, we stated to the Minister in the context of whether additional Exchequer support should be provided that there were a number of issues which should be considered. There was the issue of trust on project delivery, the issue of the principle as to whether the Department should breach its promised allocation, the balance of issues in terms of obtaining value for taxpayers and the availability of additional capital funds, regardless of the assessment of the other issues. We went through all those issues.
