I am reading the information we got from the board and from our periodic report No. 6. Paragraph H.10 of our report says:
Members questioned the cost of Phase A, the substructure, in relation to the overall project. The NPHDB stated that Phase A works were approximately €100m, including VAT, of all project costs. This represents approximately 7% of the current construction cost estimate of €1.4 billion.
That was several months ago. The board was able to give us that cost after the main meeting. It was an approximate figure at that time. There are several obvious questions. These are the financial statements. There is a reference to phase A having been completed. My question is simple. What was the final cost for phase A?
