I am not asking the Minister that. I want to get to the bottom of whether the Minister, who has been in his role as Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform for a number of months now, has a dicky bird as to where this will end up. Is this a runaway train that will keep on escalating and increasing? Has the Minister got a private figure he is not willing to share with the committee as to the amount he is willing to spend on this project? Is it basically the case that he is just a passenger on this train, the brakes are long gone and it will end up where it ends up?
