If BAM is subcontracting out then presumably the subcontractors would be able to provide the staff to ensure the delivery of the project. I know the issue of the grilles was discussed earlier on. I was surprised that 94% of the project has been completed, going on the figures Mr. Gunning gave two weeks ago. However, at the same time, none of the rooms are at a level to be signed off on. There is a snag list and some of the snags are issues that are repeated in every room. I have not been able to understand why there was not some sort of oversight of the completion of the first 100 rooms, for example, and why those issues were carried forward to all of the rooms. Obviously, I do not expect the Minister to be out there inspecting the rooms but where was the oversight if this has become an issue at the end of all the rooms being ready for handover?
