Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jul 2018)

Seán Fleming: I think we might have it in the body of the report-----

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Jul 2018)

Seán Fleming: You can double check with the secretariat afterwards but my recollection is there was a mention that all the costs are not in yet, it would be 2019 before they will all be in and the review will commence arising from that. I was conscious of that going to the meeting yesterday. The project started in 2006 but it will be 2019 before we can see its total cost. I did not specifically refer to...
