Do not get me wrong; I would be the first to say a science centre is very important and significant for the State but I am just questioning the mechanism behind the issues in front of us.
I want to jump back in on the issue of measured term maintenance expenditure. We had a budget of roughly €20 million from 2018 to 2022, amounting to a total of roughly €120 million, for want of a better number. Obviously, a bit of money was spent in 2023 and 2024. Was that just an overlay from a previous period, or did it relate to unaccrued invoices or something?
