Eoghan Murphy: I am confused. My understanding is that we were waiting for Covanta to secure final financing and then they were going to go ahead. Mr. Murphy is stating that is in doubt now.

Eoghan Murphy: We need to find out. Someone else needs to look at the figures as well, rather than Dublin City Council which is directly involved in the project and is part of the consortium.
