Mr. Hugh Creegan:
The expenditure on MetroLink was €158 million to the end of December and there is more to go. That is an enormous sum of money but that is what it costs to bring a project of this scale through the design process and get it to construction. This is the time when we need to spend money to make sure we have all the details right and to minimise problems downstream. We are in line with what happens internationally. We are not out of kilter. That is what it takes to bring forward a massive project.
