Mr. Fred Barry:

Certainly. When I was first before this committee and indeed the health committee, around May or so of last year, the main contractor was behind schedule by weeks. I said at the time that it was well within the contractor's compass to make up that time. I said last week and I will say again to this committee that it is unfortunately the case that the contractor has not made up that time - not only that, but it has slipped further weeks. As an example of where this would show up on a milestone in work to date, the removal of the old road that crossed the centre of the site was a milestone in the ongoing activity. Its removal took place a couple of months later than it would have taken place had it been done per the contracted programme. The work going on at the moment is primarily the pouring of concrete: the concrete frame, the columns, the slabs and so on. There is other work going on around the site as well.
