FERRY FIASCO: Govt official says he's being transparent yet seems to not want to share information

Director general of Economy, Gregor Irwin was questioned by MSPs investigating why the building of the two new CalMac ferries at the shipyard has gone over time and over budget.

Mr Irwin was asked repeatedly by Richard Leonard if he could share information from external commercial advisors with the committee.

Mr Irwin said that he and the government were committed to being transparent but didn't seem to say that he would share information with the committee.

The two vessels, the Glen Sannox and the as-yet-unnamed hull 802, are now not due to be completed until the end of 2023 and the end of 2024 respectively.

Build costs for the ferries, which CalMac plans to use on its Clyde and Hebridean services, have risen from £97 million to about £300 million.
