Mr. Peter Finnegan:

It is unfortunate to make that comment. We have been particularly conscious of cost control on this project. We have our own internal team that works on it. That team meets every month. The commission is getting progress reports from the OPW and the management of public money on the project has been a key priority for us. Of all institutions, the Houses of the Oireachtas must ensure that public money is spent appropriately and that there is proper management of resources.
