Mr. John McElligott:

Deputy Corcoran Kennedy asked whether the Minister said it could be a project of common interest in the overriding national interest.

However, if we have to give it money, we will have to look at it again. The decision to put it in the national interest means that it is in the national interest and the decision is made. What he gave was a non-answer and it is really blurring the position. If it is in the national interest, he must put funding into it. That is why I go back to the idea that he made a decision without having all the evidence before him, which is very serious.
