Overruns are not free of consequences. Even if the taxpayer can find the money needed from buoyant tax receipts, as we could this year, it is money that could be spent somewhere else. The first area should not always be the politically sensitive or patient sensitive area. I am not involved in politics as long as the Deputy and do not have the same experience, but I share his viewpoint in taking a healthy scepticism to what is often presented as the appropriate course of action.
