I take that point but given that value for money has to be a factor - maybe not the only factor - it was necessary to get the capacity. As for a plan, we knew that the capacity was in case the surge happened. Was there a plan B? In the event the surge did not happen, was there a plan to ensure we would get some value for money out of those beds? Was there ever a plan B by the HSE, the Department of Health or the Minister that Ms Clyne is aware of?
