Seán Fleming: I thank Mr. Cahillane for that clarification. I now wish to focus on roads and schools and I will turn first to the issue of transport. My questions are based on the documentation supplied to the committee by Transport Infrastructure Ireland. Reference was made to the list of the ten areas where some work has been done as part of the post-project reviews. The list includes the...

Seán Fleming: The Comptroller and Auditor General was dealing with cost overruns into €16 billion and €17 billion at that time. That was the topic when the money was flying.
