Mr. Mark Griffin:

There are a couple of things to say on that. It is important to restate what I said at the outset and to quote what Eir said in its letter, namely, that it is not a formal offer designed to replace or supersede the current NBP process. That is an important point to record. We were in a difficult situation and I apologise to the committee for the late provision of my opening statement. The committee also got the Anaylsys Mason paper and the aide memoireduring the course of the day. Right up until we came to the committee this evening, we have continued to work through some of these issues. We have carried out a great deal of analysis since Friday evening. However, we would be happy to spell out in writing some of the more important issues, including the over-build, the connection costs and so on.
