We can certainly park the political charges and we will deal with them outside of this committee.

The Taoiseach took ownership of this project and I call on him to come before the Committee of Public Accounts. I also call on Mr. Fraser as the head of the public service, Mr. Robert Watt who is the Secretary General of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and Mr. John Concannon who has been appointed to lead the unit to come here, and others as we see fit. It is up to the committee to decide whether we should do so. I propose that we invite all of those individuals. We, the committee members, have listed some. I know that Teachta Catherine Murphy has listed other people that maybe I have not, and the same applies to Teachta Aylward. It is up to the Chairman in terms of how he proceeds. I propose that we invite all of the individuals that have been suggested by all of the Deputies, as soon as possible.
