Like the Deputy, I was surprised that only 12% of the project will be new build. That was a bit of an eye-catcher. The other question that arises out of it is the annual cost for rent of existing infrastructure each year over the next 25 years. Is it being done as a cumulative cost over that period? If only 12% is going on new build, what is the €2.7 billion going on? How much of that is going on the rent of infrastructure from a private company, Eir? The Deputy asked if NBI is responsible for paying for the upgrade of existing infrastructure.

As Deputy Munster is not here, I call Deputy Carthy.
