I will speak for myself on this. I am not in any way convinced by the explanation given about the €130 million. It sounds exactly like the explanation the witnesses' colleagues gave for the savings. I doubt the figure will be achieved because the assurances the Department is getting that the figure will be achieved are coming from the same place that gave assurances that the project would be delivered within budget. The witnesses will appreciate the scepticism. I am sure it is shared by plenty of the people in this room and anyone watching proceedings from outside.
