Somebody is going to suffer in the short term because €1 billion is a lot of money. Somebody is going to suffer now. Perhaps it is a project that should have been going ahead but because of this overrun on the children's hospital it will have the brakes put on. The money has to be got somewhere and somebody is going to suffer. That is logic and we cannot deny that. We are not going to get another €1 billion.
