It has been clearly pointed out that, irrespective of the basis for the initiative, it was not progressed effectively to any stage over a ten-year period. All that was provided was road access, resulting in extra expenditure. The total expenditure is probably a lot more than €50 million. It is incredible, bearing in mind the purpose for which the site was purchased in the first instance, that it has now been shown that it was not necessary to engage in the process at all, because the in-cell accommodation has been provided. Is anybody's hand going to be slapped over this matter? How do we highlight something like this to a Department and embarrass it into not doing something of this nature again?
