Mr. Watt says he is interested in protecting the State's interest. Surely if we are looking at costs in excess of €2 billion, and it is public money, it is in the State's interests to know exactly what this hospital will cost and if it will be the most expensive children's hospital in the world. I again ask Mr. Watt whether he will provide the committee with the report. If he is refusing point blank to publish it, will he provide the committee with the report, as we have requested for some time? Mr. Watt has had the report since May. That is a "Yes" or "No" response.
