The Government brings it forward. We are dancing on the head of a pin which is unnecessary because I am not suggesting anybody is culpable or responsible. I am trying to get answers on behalf of the taxpayers who will have to foot this bill. The cost has increased from less than €5 million to €20 million. I am not saying that is the fault of the Department, the Taoiseach, the Opposition or everybody here. Rather, I am saying it has happened and cost is an ongoing issue. Is it possible the cost could go north of €20 million?
