Mr. Costello has had some big ones. People here have admitted concern and worry. A review that was initiated will cost a significant amount but officials are explaining everything away by reference to complexity, as if we were not complex creatures and as if the project were not complex. We are asked to accept the complexity so we can move on but that does not tally. That is what people find confusing. In Mr. Costello's previous life with Sisk, would he or the company have accepted a situation where things were spectacularly wrong to the point of going from the business case figure of €637 million, or even €983 million, to nearly €1 billion over that cost?
