With hindsight, the Minister will agree that he did not make his statement on Bord Gáis correctly. I asked him how much will be paid to consultants. For a Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform to state he will have to wait until the bills come in at the end of the process is insufficient. He must have a budget. I suggest that he have a budget and a ceiling. He should know these at this stage.

It appears as if the Aer Lingus development will not really happen this year, nor will the Dublin Port transaction.
