I hate to be awkward but that is what interests me. I regard the public spending code – tell me if I am wrong – as entailing a six-, 12- or 18-month process in which Mr. Moloney's Department effectively analyses paperwork submitted to it, to put it politely. In other words, there is a very intensive process to determine whether the project is worth funding. I see it as an instrument of delay.
