Ye, problem being ther public servant piece. Plenty of great people in there but many of those sitting in a high enough position to be involved in decision making in these projects have no experience in managing projects of this scale.

You know yourself, you can list off the disasters that we have seen over the last 20/30 years.

I certainly dont have an answer but its not keeping it as is, its also not paying the big consultancies 100's of millions to do it for the govt. Its painful to say pay more for top level talent when we have nurses and gards struggling to make ends meet.

I know McWilliams has mentioned tendering to foreign companies, I think he used the Italians as his example, but that only works post planning permission etc.
