It is interesting. In the private sector, if an individual staff member were to overspend by €1.4 billion and delay a project by six years, the terms and conditions of their contract would be measured against their output. I imagine there would be a negative outcome in terms of that person's job in that scenario. I am getting at the idea of accountability and responsibility at senior levels of the public service. It is a critical element in keeping both current and capital expenditure in check, is it not?
