Mr. John Pollock:

The point is there would be variations in the 6,000 rooms. The Deputy questioned whether we were changing wash-hand basins, but that was not the case.

We would have had provisional sums for pendants in the operating theatres and sanitary wear, for example. They all need to be signed off on from the point of view of infection control. When we tendered for them, the figures were higher than the provisional sums included in the budget. That would have contributed to the €20 million in increased costs in respect of user engagement.
