Is the Minister telling this committee that, as the Minister with responsibility for public expenditure, he has no problem with not being told, for several months, of an overrun, let alone one of hundreds of millions of euro? The Minister introduced a budget last October with no knowledge of an overrun of the order of €450 million, while his Cabinet colleague, sitting at the same table, knew an awful lot about it at that stage.
