I welcome the delegation from Uisce Éireann and Mr. Tierney in particular. I will not repeat questions but I want some clarification so as to hone in on the costs. It seems, having looked at the document, that €97.9 million was spent by December. The guts of €100 million has been spent so far. Mr. Tierney has also confirmed that there is a likelihood that there will be some contingencies, so the €30 million contingency fund might be delved into to an extent. I will not proceed with that question as Mr. Tierney has dealt with it.

With regard to the €97.9 million, the statement indicates that approximately €50 million was used on specialists.

Is that correct?
