Mr. Damien McCallion:

Not to sidestep the question again but effectively I have asked that we look back through procurement on the market analysis of what was undertaken on benchmarking, as there was some done at the time. More fundamentally - going back to the point of Deputy Aylward on lessons learned - even in the current negotiations, we did a market assessment - in a very intensive concentrated way given the pressures we were under - where we looked at the international market to see what we were paying, what we were getting, albeit we were not in a position to go out to seek a re-tender given where we are at.
