Ms Geraldine Tallon:

I do not have a capital figure for that here. The DBO capital cost of the Balbriggan-Skerries treatment plant was 12% less than traditional procurement but I do not have a whole-life cost on that. The DBO capital cost of the south Tipperary treatment plant was 25% less than traditional procurement while the whole-life cost was 9.4% less than the pre-tender estimate. The DBO capital cost of the Dungarvan treatment plant was 4.7% less than traditional procurement. I will provide an up-to-date and complete table on these figures to the committee as soon as possible. The DBO capital cost of the Sligo treatment plant was 20% less than traditional procurement, based on a pre-tender estimate. I do not have a whole-life cost for this plant.
