Mr. Eamonn Molloy:

To deal with the point on consultants, the cost to date over four to five years is approximately €1.3 million. We expect total costs by the end of the project to be approximately €1.8 million. Consultants' fees for the project will come in just a little below 6% of the overall cost of the project. If one looks at the type of project with which we are dealing, it is very much a global first, including the legal and contracting issues involved. The sums are not unreasonable in that context, but I am not the judge.

On the freight sector, Mr. Duggan has dealt with the issue of communications requirements. We accept that it is a job that must be done and done well for the sake of the project. I will ask Ms Cronin to deal with the data protection issue.
