I know the capital allocation is the OPW’s. I understand that. I am talking about people that know things - people that are here long enough to know better. Apparently they have not taken up many learnings from all of the mistakes of the past.
Mr. Conlon said the security issues were not insurmountable and that on 26 April 2021, the options included the preferred option. The OPW was going through it and they were all informed. Who asked for the legal advice? Was it the OPW? Or rather, not the legal advice but the security advice? Was that given to the OPW by the commission or did the commission seek it?
