Mr. Ger Cowhig:

He went through the dates. It is on page 11. I am going through the key points in the timeline. The committee will find the timelines on page 11. We did the scope document, which we finished in August 2012. In September 2012 we had a budget completed, which we submitted to the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government. That outlined the budget cost of €150 million plus a 30% contingency. Further on, we sent the budget to NewERA. We forwarded that in November. We had a meeting with the Commission for Energy Regulation and we provided a high level outline of the budget to the commission at that stage. That was all done before we engaged in any contracts or anything like that. The budget was known at that stage, before we engaged in contracts and before the tendering process was complete. We had fully informed the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government, NewERA and the CER at that stage.
