I thank Mr. Barry for coming and wish him the best of luck in his new position. It is probably not ideal coming in halfway through the project to replace the previous chairman, which I am sure carries its own difficulties. Will he outline for the committee how he proposes to identify and make the relevant people aware of further cost overruns? We have spoken about a 4% inflation rate and the additional costs will arise if it moves above it. The project is due to be completed in mid-2022. If it runs over time, there will be an additional cost.
