Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

The issue is how the executive moves to bring the entire system into place. The system was costed at €100 million but up to the end of last year it cost €116 million, €16 million over the estimate. The cost of finishing the job has been excessive for the reasons outlined by the Department of Finance. This is what is being reviewed. I am not getting into the personal remarks Deputy Rabbitte feels necessary to make.
