I had to sit the leaving certificate but I am still struggling with the numbers, which is not Mr. Walsh's fault but my fault. With an optimistic version, we are talking about 2024 to come out of planning and 2026 to 2027 to come out of procurement. It would then take another nine years, at most, so we are talking about 2035 for an operational date. Is that a ballpark date given that it could also be longer if there is a judicial review?
