Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

If one starts with a capital investment appraisal and does an analysis of why and how much one would be willing to spend, one would certainly want to be looking back at the model of what one is trying to procure. One is back to very fundamental questions. At the end of the day, one either decides one is willing to spend what the provider is asking or not. That becomes the fundamental question. It is probably not even a pragmatic solution for the State to get directly involved in providing a service of this nature.
