The Department of Education and Science's original assessment was €250 million, not €651 million, yet the Taoiseach has ended up paying €1,200 million of taxpayers' money. Many people would translate that into so many classroom places or special needs assistants. Why, if the Department of Finance said 50:50 was a fair division, was it forced from that in a secret arrangement while the then Attorney General was locked out?
