Deputy English made a fair point about the analysis of the delivery of large capital projects within the private sector. Most of the work we do only examines the work of public projects. I am certain that the private sector is facing the same challenges we are in terms of inflation and the availability of talent to do the work. The private sector tells us this at every opportunity it can. Obviously, though, the private sector is not accountable to the Oireachtas in the way we are. We are here to justify where we are with public projects.
