It is important to reassure the Irish subcontractors that their liabilities are covered or they will not be ultimately liable for something that went wrong in another jurisdiction. If possible, will the Minister make contact with the subcontractors with a view to alleviating their worries. If the matter drags on indefinitely, the concern is that they will be placed under unnecessary financial pressure. They can deliver the goods as matters stand. A long drawn-out argument in the courts or elsewhere would not benefit the Department, the parents, the children hoping to attend the schools or the Irish subcontractors. Will the Minister ask his officials to indicate to the subcontractors what will be the likely outcome of this process and to expedite the process of completing the projects and making payments?
