The next question is directed to Mr. Barry or whoever wants to deal with it. On the financial statements, I wish to deal with capital commitments, which appear on page 25. In January of this year, the witnesses' predecessors appeared before the committee and on that day, we were given the famous figure of €1.433 billion, which was put together over the lunch break and revealed when the committee reconvened.

I have quite a few questions in this area. The central paragraph on page 35 of the report states: "Up to the end of 2017, the Phase A of the construction contract was awarded which primarily supported the site enabling works of the project." We understand that. It refers to the ground works, underground work, a car park. It is not all overground. Is phase A complete?
