I accept all that but I do not see how any of this was not visible to Transport Infrastructure Ireland in 2018 when it provided a very clear timeline of 2027. Now we have a timeline of at least eight years after that. Effectively, this is a doubling of the duration of the project. I do not see from the significant information Mr. Walsh has given me anything to indicate this information was not available when TII published the timeline in 2018. Therefore, we compound the disappointment again by having a timeline that was not realistic in the first place.
