Okay, if that can be furnished. I can see we may need another session to scrutinise this when we have all the relevant documentation.
Is it usual for no estimates to be submitted to the promoter of the job? Is it usual for a job to be given the go-ahead without there being any ballpark figure or discussion of what the cost might be? I understand it cannot be pinned down because the jobs go out to tender, but for the Oireachtas to say go-ahead without any idea of the cost is like signing a blank cheque.
