Mr. Peter Walsh:

There are never guarantees of funding. If there is no funding constraint, what we as an organisation have always done is to progress a project to the next stage of development. We will not leave the local authority holding a bill it cannot pay. If a project reaches the point where we can approve moving to land acquisition, we are committing to the consequential costs of that. The same applies in terms of construction. This might seem vague, but that is the way we have operated with these contracts. I do not believe we have ever let a local authority down in this regard, and we have no intention of starting.
