Seán Fleming: I am aware that Mr. Barry probably did not get an opportunity to answer the question or may not have wanted to answer it, but the skills that were necessary at the earliest stage of the project, in terms of procurement, etc., might not be as critical now because it is a question of seeing the project to completion.
