I have no problem understanding what Mr. Costello is saying. He is saying that the traditional model of tendering was not suitable in this case. I understand completely. If there is a theatre, we do not want to say that it will cost €1 million, only for the builder to build it for €1 million and then shave off €200,000 by putting in a cheaper tile, wall or ceiling. I get that, so Mr. Costello does not have to explain it like this to me. My problem concerns the overrun and how the board did not see it, the fact that the overrun is so large and that Mr. Costello maintains that this process is the best one but cannot tell me how it worked out everywhere else.

I think Mr. Costello can understand my point.
