Can we get a costing on that? It goes back to the core point of the failure to engage with communities. Does Mr. Delaney think there has been a failure? I know there were pressures involved, but does he think there was a failure in the critical engagement with communities in the context of the locations chosen? They were chosen not because they were the best sites or locations or because they had the best services, like access to schools or GPs, it was a case of "We have this site. Here you go."
On the failure to engage with communities, do the witnesses believe that there was a failure in relation to that piece?
