Mr. Michael Mahon:

The team in Eir was trying to put together the information. Naturally, as the Senator will appreciate, there are Chinese walls between different parts of the organisation. Eir was trying to put together a team to respond to the requirements but we started the engagement a lot later than other parties may have because we were utilising the ESB infrastructure up to that point. In what we were looking for by comparison with what was being provided, there was probably a disconnect.
