Timmy Dooley (Clare, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I have raised very serious concerns about the capacity of the remaining bidder to deliver. I and others have been raising them for the past year and a half and, sadly, it seems that it has only dawned on the Government in recent weeks. Perhaps the concerns are being taken more seriously following the Minister's arrival in office. I have been raising concerns since the main contractors that had the capacity to deliver the project, who were identified in the KPMG report before this process ever started, pulled out. What I cannot understand is the continued delay of the Government in reaching a decision. Surely the information is there. If tough decisions have to be taken then the Minister will find support on this side of the House, but let us make them and then move on.
