Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister of State for taking a hands-on approach. I did meet with the engineers in relation to outlining this. My difficulty, however, as the Minister of State knows, is the huge delay.

Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister of State for his letter to me and all that. I have to put on the record, however, that CFRAM goes back over a decade.
