I agree and this is something that we should come back and spend a bit of time on. It is obviously quite topical. Outside of being just topical, there has to be some learning from the legacy of how this was costed. What the Deputy has outlined is accurate. Not only that, but the figures have changed, not just in the totality but also individually. For instance, the €200 million for fit out. Where did that appear from, all of a sudden? It just appeared all of a sudden. As regards long-term decision-making, are we really saying that the decision that was made, if we had all this information, would have been the same? I am not sure, and I say that as somebody who was party to decision-making on this at one level. I encourage this committee to come back to this issue.
