Yes. Mr. Parlon is very welcome, anyway. The different actions that have been taken on the various sites will have incurred much cost to the builder or the contractor. How is that going to be covered? Given what Ms King is asking for and what Dr. McGuinness will be overseeing, it is clear to me that there is going to be a huge amount of cost. In terms of the CIF and the contracts that it knows of, can Mr. Parlon tell us what the impact will be on the contracts? If one has entered into a contract, how can this be catered for?

Mr. Parlon deals with the bigger contractors but who represent the smaller contractors? Does Mr. Parlon have a direct line to them beyond his membership and is he exercising that in order to make sure that they are protected and that their employees are protected? Can Mr. Parlon comment on that, please?
