I have a few questions about the cost. It was originally budgeted as costing €650 million. It was only when the price shot up to in excess of €1.7 billion that the Committee of Public Accounts took note of the matter. The latest estimates I see reported are in excess of €2 billion. The PwC review recommended that comprehensive plans should be developed to mitigate the residue risks identified. Did the board do that?
