I thank the Deputy. Committee members appreciate there are matters that are commercially sensitive. We all understand that. However, I fail to understand why we cannot be informed on key issues such as estimated dates to set out a timeline for this project. We should also be informed of an estimated cost. I have never seen anything like this in my lifetime. If you were building a back kitchen or an extra bedroom onto your house, the contractor would give you a price before they start. The project in question is two thirds of the way through the process and nobody has an answer as to how much it is going to cost. We have not been informed. I am no wiser now as to the timeline for completion. It is an absolute mess.
