If Eir has given an incorrect figure, it should correct that. The chief executive of Eir informed this committee last week that Eir could complete the project for €1 billion or even less. I am reading the letter from the Department with the invitation to submit detailed solutions, ISDS, subsidy requirement and alternatives, and it is complicated because there is an absolute subsidy and a present value subsidy. The Department has said that Eir's maximum range subsidy of €1.549 billion is actually its mid-range subsidy. I do not understand that.
