Mr. Peter Walsh:

I do. The public spending code requires that the business case is submitted to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. That business case has to properly describe the project that we are going to fund. The only project that we can currently present is the 2004 design. If we present that to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport as the business case for the project but we tell residents and the local authority that there are a couple of issues here that really need to be addressed, we would be doing it on the hoof, having presented one thing to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, then entering into a contract with a contractor to build that in the knowledge that we may well vary it. That is not the right way to do it. That is why we need to clarify exactly what we want to put into this project and what the right response to the requirements of the project and the problem it is trying to resolve is. If we can identify that and get it into the footprint of the land as it stands, then I am sure Louth County Council and its engineers would have done so.
