Mr. Mick Miley:

It is money earned, paid out and on which revenue and VAT are paid. The beneficiaries are the State, the Government and the Department of Education and Skills.

To finish my point as I do not want to stay talking for the evening, the Department of Education and Skills is the beneficiary of this project. At the end of the day, the Senator's children, everybody's children, teachers and whoever one likes to include are the owners of the ground. They purchased it. They inaugurated this project in the first place. They just cannot pick out a spot in the middle and say, "That has nothing to do with us". It was there at the beginning, it is there in the middle and it should be there at the end. I strongly suggest that contingency be taken out of the pot of gold that is due to be paid to the Dutch finance firm or whoever that man is at the end of the day so that he loses out on the overall amount. I am not picking on him in particular. That figure of, say €20 million, should be taken out as a contingency to hold for someone to adjudicate over as to who is entitled to be paid.

If at that point they wanted to change their contractor, team and engineers, without their consent, I would be okay with that; I just want to be paid. I stand over what I did and I am sure the same applies to others. If they wished to go away and pick a new contractor, I believe that would be acceptable.
