There is a likelihood that this project will continue to be a runaway train and nothing I have heard today gives me assurance that will not be the case. Cost has not been brought under control and there is nothing to suggest it will be controlled before the end of the project. I want to know, from the taxpayers' point of view, what is the oversight of this.

I am directing this question to Ms Prendergast from the point of view of the Departments of Health and Public Expenditure and Reform. What is the oversight to ensure that this project is kept under some kind of control from the point of view of cost?
