I would have thought a fiscally prudent owner is just what DTVA needs!
I don't have a problem with Peel looking for Govt money where it is available, but the key is what they will do next. If the business case is that good they will push ahead (has been pointed out, they have the readies). If the business case is marginal, they'll need to consider when they stop chucking good money after bad.
