Was the €2.9 million estimate for 2014 the amount of money the board had to spend? How could something end up being €5 million when it was €2.9 million? Inflation is understandable but if I was the company who had got that tender I would be delighted I had received a tender for €2.9 million and could potentially get €5 million. I would think this is a good day out for the company but not for the taxpayer.
