I will pick up where Deputy Cian O'Callaghan has left off. The single-stage process is not being used because all the risk is on the local authorities. If they say a project is going to deliver, for example, 50 units and put in a cost for those 50 units that turns out to be less than the actual cost, they are on the hook for the difference between their initial estimate and the final cost at tender. Is that the case at the moment?
