Mr. Phelim Devine:

That is not correct. Some of the steel has only just been put in. A large part of the steel work went in in 2021 and some of it was only put in this year. Most of the glazing going around the hospital went in in 2021. Those costs are included in the inflationary figure. On the inflationary figure for 2021, it will not be published until the middle of 2022 because all the data for 2021 are needed.

Those data are assembled by the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland and we recognise the largest two surveyors in the country. It takes a number of months to put those data together to publish figures. We are bound by when SCSI publishes the figures and that is why it takes six months.
