It is a question I have submitted to the NTA. It is one of the answers I am waiting on for a while.

In terms of the national train control centre and all projects over €100 million, can Mr. Doocey confirm that the accounts next year will actually have subheadings? It is extremely difficult to get a handle on what is going on in these key projects. It is important that they all have subheadings if they are over €100 million. Obviously, we know that the train control centre has overrun by €40 million and delayed by a couple of years. That is 80 Dublin buses and at least 20 train carriages. Were those overruns flagged to the Department? What is the risk management process?
