Unlike my colleagues who are very conscious about costs, I am not paranoid about them because I believe we have to deliver. To deliver, we presume a level of expenditure. I previously asked for the original costing and I was told that no actual costing had been undertaken and no engineering or quantity surveyors reports had been secured, which are requirements in terms of estimating a cost. Is Mr. Barry satisfied that sufficient work has been done in terms of forensically examining all elements of the project with a view to it remaining in line with cost?
