If I may take the liberty as Acting Chairman to interrupt the witness, it has been pointed out to me and it is a reasonable criticism that despite what Mr. Loftus said, it is not easier to look at what is on the website. Nobody knows what stage 1 or stage 2b is. Nobody knows what these terms mean. Dáil Deputies might possibly know but I would say a lot of them do not. Deputy Lahart mentioned that the capital programme seems to have been completely deleted from the website. There was a progress list on the Department's website which was updated on a monthly basis and was very useful. It listed projects due to commence in 2013, 2014, 2015 and so on. That was the easiest way of looking at it because people would know when a project was due to be built and could actually see what the progress was. There was a lot more detail in those lists than there is in the current list. The list is now significantly lacking in detail, in my estimation.
