Mr. Fred Barry:

We have got external support on the claims, which has been very helpful in ensuring that we are properly structured internally and that our information management systems, which are so important, are in place and robust and will allow us, where we have a defence to the claims, to present that defence in a timely and fully evidenced manner. Claims will come in where the contractor is entitled to be paid. I have no doubt about that. Some issues will arise. We are not suggesting in any of this that the contractor should not get what he is entitled to but our concern is to ensure that the State does not pay for anything that has already been paid for within the guaranteed maximum price.
