That is unacceptable. Risk is Mr. Cahillane's area of expertise. Is it not risky to let one company regulate how it operates without any further checks apart from certification at the end? I am not suggesting micromanaging companies, but we have no accountability. We are sitting here today asking questions and I really feel they are not being answered. There is no accountability. Mr. Cahillane said that this has been going on for 40 years with subcontractors and that this is what happens. It should not happen. We should not be sitting here today discussing public private partnerships, PPPs, for which contractors are waiting on money. We are being told that it is not the State's concern. That is unacceptable.
