Does the Minister believe the fact the bid was €120 million lower than the next one should have raised a flag? Was a simple comparison made between the costs included in the bids?

Who selected the board? Did the State look into its members' record in that regard? Mr. Costello who seems to be completely unconcerned and says BAM's tender was professional had to leave Sisk after a mess-up in Poland on road projects, in respect of which there were significant cost overruns that had not been estimated and that nearly led Sisk to going bankrupt.
