That may be the case for concrete and steel, but the other stuff the board is getting has been charged at premium rates. This includes €90 million for nine months' extra work, including premium preliminaries. The figure for works to comply with fire regulations is €27 million. One could build a 90,000 sq. ft office block for €27 million. If we make a comparison of €300 per sq. ft, then that is what one would build for €27 million. That is the amount being charged in respect of fire regulations. They must be very good sprinklers to cost that amount of money.
