"I'm absolutely appalled but not surprised"

And how will the rail be restructured because of that?

Liveline
"I'm absolutely appalled but not surprised"

I mean, I've worked in the private sector with Sky TV for nine years, and if this had happened in the technology department, the whole team working on it would be out the door.

Liveline
"I'm absolutely appalled but not surprised"

So where's the accountability is the question.

Liveline
"I'm absolutely appalled but not surprised"

It's not about Navin not having a railway line and whatever else having...

Liveline
"I'm absolutely appalled but not surprised"

this, that and the other.

Liveline
"I'm absolutely appalled but not surprised"

This is about the 50 million and who will be held responsible.

Liveline
"I'm absolutely appalled but not surprised"

That's all I really wanted to say.

Liveline
"I'm absolutely appalled but not surprised"

No, well, no, but on top of every external company, there's an internal team managing that process who've selected them, manages them on a daily basis, and they're as responsible for the non-performance of the contractor they picked.

Liveline
"I'm absolutely appalled but not surprised"

So it's not just, you can't let blame at all on consultants.

Liveline
"I'm absolutely appalled but not surprised"

No, certainly not.

Liveline
"I'm absolutely appalled but not surprised"

No, in private sector they do.

Liveline
"I'm absolutely appalled but not surprised"

People will slowly walk towards the door.

Liveline
"I'm absolutely appalled but not surprised"

They might make an issue of it.

Liveline
"I'm absolutely appalled but not surprised"

But if a team fails, a team goes.

Liveline
"I'm absolutely appalled but not surprised"

If this was Ryanair, I'd say they'd be out the door with Michael O'Leary within the week.

Liveline
"I'm absolutely appalled but not surprised"

So we don't take accountability government-wise.

Liveline
"I'm absolutely appalled but not surprised"

And there are semi-safe bodies, etc.

Liveline
"I'm absolutely appalled but not surprised"

But certainly in the private sector, people do.

Liveline
"I'm absolutely appalled but not surprised"

Yeah, yeah, OK.

Liveline
"I'm absolutely appalled but not surprised"

Yeah, I agree.
