The IDA has stated that ConnectIreland is in dispute with it and that it is a contractor. We have no way of knowing if this is good or bad value for money. I have a major concern about that. I would like to see more about this but I do not know where we could fit it in. It might be a case of having an hour-long engagement with the IDA. I am not sure whether it is appropriate to have an engagement with a subcontractor, which means we probably should engage with the IDA directly. I am not satisfied with what we are hearing. I do not want to take a reassurance without satisfying myself.
