I am disappointed by Mr. Scannell's response. I do not accept that the Department cannot do a review while the matter is ongoing. That has been done in the case of every project I have ever been involved in or worked with. Companies do reviews all the time. It is unacceptable that Mr. Scannell cannot tell us when the review will take place. Why have the terms of reference not been finalised already? It is just unacceptable.

I wish to raise my disappointment with the IDA for not turning up before the committee. I know the IDA sent us a letter but I do not accept what is in the letter. We could have asked representatives of the IDA questions without breaching what they were worried about, so I am disappointed.

Mr. Scannell did not answer any of my questions properly. There is concern that this project will finish on Sunday, which is five or six days away.
