Mr. Mark Griffin:

I would not necessarily accept that. We worked very closely with the two other bidders to ensure that we had an effective dialogue and procurement process. They made decisions, some of them commercial. That information is in the public domain. Siro made a decision on the basis of its ability to submit a competitive bid while Eir had concerns regarding some of the conditionality being imposed through the contract and some of the regulatory arrangements that are in place and it decided to withdraw, as is its right. These are questions that can be put to representatives of those companies when they appear before the committee.
