Mr. Jim Farragher:
Taking one point that Mr. Quinn mentioned a few moments ago, while they were finalising the design and getting design certainty we did not go ahead with the tender. We deferred it for another three months so we could get additional certainty and get the design team to confirm that the 95% was there. While the programme was under a lot of time pressure, there was a certain level of questioning, although in hindsight obviously it was not enough. Time was taken. It did not deliver the exact result we would have liked but that questioning did take place over a three month period.
