Mr. Mark Griffin:
The cost provided for at contract signing was €2.977 billion. That included subsidies and VAT. There was subsequently a Revenue decision which knocked €270 million off the VAT bill, so the overall cost has moved to €2.7 billion. Based on our engagement with NBI, with which we have extensive governance arrangements in place, there are no indications yet of cost increases for the project.
