I was referring to the fact the ferry which is 5 years late has doubled in price. Not for one minute was I meaning anything negative towards arran. The fact is this whole debacle has been disgraceful and the fault lies clearly at Hollyrood. I felt this gross overspend could be given some perspective by using this figure which I read on a national newspaper, I am not the architect of this figure it has been used by others to highlight this disgraceful mismanagement, and I am not allocating this to anyone other than our government who are ultimately responsible. I am fully aware that the ferry is not solely for the use of the islanders, I use it myself at least twice a year. But if you think I was having a go at arran then so be it.

</blockquote>I did not at any time suggest you were being negative to Arran or the islanders who live there.<br />
The ferry overspend is what it is now, nothing is gonna change that and answers will be needed later as to why.<br />
I accept that the figure quoted came from elsewhere<br />
My point was simply the fact that you were perpetuating a totally meaningless figure reference which, on it's own, make no sense.</div>
