Mr. Tony O'Brien:

The business case has been transmitted, with the endorsement of the Department of Health, to our colleagues in the relevant section in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. There is a set process for evaluating a business case. We hope to go to market by the end of the third quarter or start of the fourth quarter this year but we cannot yet set this as a timetable as it is subject to the approval process. It is a process of testing to ensure the assumptions underpinning our business case are sound.
