I didn't quite catch that...
Who’da thunk that this would happen?
Taxpayers could face a £7m bill to restore a government-bought ship linked to the Titanic, a committee has found.
The SS Nomadic was bought three years ago by the Department of Social Development and brought back to Belfast as a potential tourist attraction.
Public Accounts Committee chairman Paul Maskey said significant unforeseen costs had been incurred since then.
A DSD spokesman said the £7m figure was wrong and most of the money would come from EU and heritage lottery grants.
First off, a government department miscalculated how much money they’d be spending (big shock), and they they bluster and try to distract from that (even bigger shock).
Lucky Belfast tax and rate payer. You’re all going to smart from this one, I think…
