That is why there needs to be accountability. We cannot forever and a day accept that whatever date we are given, we have no hope it will be delivered on time. Every date given and every target is missed. At some point, the State has to say, "Enough is enough. You have given us September, you have a programme of works. Deploy the resources and deliver this". There needs to be really strong political oversight. If September is missed again, we know there is a six-month commissioning period before it is operational.
