Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael)

The key point about cost is the question of accountability for safety. The SCADA operating system has been deemed unsafe in the context of its design, architecture and every other part of it. Earlier, the Minister said he had sent a report to Brussels on the safety of the tunnel but he has refused to publish it. The report should be available and to that end the Minister should lay it before the House in the interests of transparency, openness and accountability. If the Minister is telling Europe that the tunnel is safe, he should lay the report before the House.
