Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I do not want to say anything on the record of this House that in any way impedes the accountability piece that has to be discharged by PwC. I am certainly happy to share with the House all of the information I have, and I have been sharing documentation. The Mazars report makes clear, as the Deputy correctly outlined, that a number of things did not go right in regard to design, as listed on pages 22 and 23 of the report. The PwC report will examine this in more detail in ascertaining where changes could be made. I do not want to use up the Deputy's time but it is important to say that the report did find that the guaranteed maximum price, GMP, process was still the correct way to go. It also found that the process locked in costs at 2016 prices. Clearly the quantities of materials that needed to be used was completely misestimated. I await the PwC report to establish where to go in that regard.
