I thank the Deputy for that contribution. She is correct that the concerns we raised were specific. I refer to whether there is a shortfall in the numbers of staff on the site and if progress has slowed. The most recent information we had referred to a date of 2025 for delivery. Each month this project is prolonged impacts on the cost. Inflation in the costs of construction, especially in the prices of timber, steel and other such materials, is skyrocketing. The reply falls very short, I am afraid, on the three questions we asked. They are not addressed at all in the response. Deputy Carthy indicated he wished to speak on this issue.
