Yes but we have gone through the other tenders where there is wanton waste of taxpayers' money. Here was a contract that stipulated clearly that the money was to be handed back. The witnesses have come in with an attitude of "Who shot John" and have said that complex legal advice has been sought. We have asked the State's financial watchdog whether or not that contract was clear and we have been told it was. The OPW was lackadaisical with taxpayers' money.
