I welcome back our witnesses this morning and thank them for the information they have supplied. Things have progressed since our most recent engagement. It is clear from the imagery the board has supplied and from our site visit that things have substantially progressed, which is good to see, but so too have the costs and so too has the timeline.
I will take the Cathaoirleach's last point first. It relates to BAM's undertaking to the board that it will be February 2025. It could easily have been December 2023. That timeline has slipped. Is it not the case that there are no assurances at all that come February 2025 BAM will not come to the board and say that it could be February 2026?
