Ms Hilary Murphy-Fagan:
Certainly, it was a factor. There is no one single element, but it was certainly a contributory factor. Not having a design locked down agreed to was, without doubt, the most fundamental issue in the programme that contributed to the cost. However, the decision on design was taken and agreed in July 2019. That has allowed the programme to move forward. That was the foundational change that has allowed the programme to move forward. I have confidence in it now.
