Mr. O'Leary talked about minimum risk to the Department and the State and maximum risk to the bidder. I do not necessarily want a comment on Granahan McCourt, but if it was known how much was available from the State - be it €2.7 billion, €2.8 billion or €2.9 billion - and that ESB as a parent company would have to commit only €170 million of real capital and around €40 million of venture capital, would that have been a proposition worth pursuing?
