I do not deny anything, but I do know that €983 million was the projected cost of delivering the hospital project on the St James's Hospital site. We are comparing the projected cost in 2017 of delivering the hospital project on the St. James's Hospital site with the projected cost now. We are not comparing the cost with the cost of delivering the project on any other site. Therefore, I do not believe it is a contributory factor. Not only do I not believe it but the evidence does not believe it because €983 million was the projected cost of delivering the project on the St James's Hospital site, to which the difference of €450 million still relates.
