Mr. Feargal Ó Coigligh:

If you look at chapter 7 of the report I commissioned, you can see the flow of information. There is a recurring pattern to the effect that the project has run into difficulty, that extra funding is being applied but that it is okay, is in hand and has gone green again. There is a repeated pattern where it is stated that there is a problem but "Don't worry about it". In May 2022, there was a report to the Department that the project was online and that all was good. In June of that year, we got a report that user acceptance testing had failed.
