Yes, but there must be a figure. This country is not run on the basis of just doing things and worrying about the costs later. If there is no figure available today, that is even more worrying. I must stress that I am not criticising the Minister for the commitment he gave. In fact, had any of us been in his position at the time, we would probably have made the same decision. I do not have an issue with that. The issue is with costing the commitment. There must have been some estimate of the cost of this decision. Such a decision would not have been made willy-nilly. What is the projected cost?
