Mr. John McKeon:
The situation has changed. The Deputy is talking about something which was developed between 1993 and the Government's decisions in 2004 or 2005. Things have changed since then. It was not required at the time for a project of this scale to be subject to a cost benefit analysis, but it is required now. If we were doing it again we would carry out a cost benefit analysis, but that was not the requirement at the time.
