The Department had concerns. To the public or ourselves here, it is a huge sum to spend without, to put it simply, a shovel being stuck in the ground. Will there be tens of billions of euro more spent before we actually see something happening? There might be a policy position to not even go ahead with it. Is there concern around that?
