The witnesses know where I am coming from. That is what makes the public cross, when they hear things have gone crazily over budget, whereas if the final cost by the time of completion could be explained, at least there would not be that level of argument. Everybody is well aware of what we are talking about when we say things such as that.

We have completed our business for today. I have no doubt that we will be talking to the representatives of Uisce Éireann again over the period of our work. We look forward to receiving a record of the information Uisce Éireann said it would send on to us.

There being no other matters, we will stand adjourned until 11 June 2025, when the committee will meet in public session with Transport Infrastructure Ireland, the National Transport Authority and officials from the Department of Transport.
