Mr. Ciar?n ? h?b?in:
I will conclude shortly. What the Deputy has to take from the current proposal is that we are three years into a contract and it is now a very different place from a project that did not have the start-up, did not have the designs, did not have any mobilisation and did not have 80,000 premises passed. We are seeing a difference there in terms of the nature of the investor that will look at a project like this. It is a vote of confidence in the project that an investment fund of that nature - a European investment fund - is interested in investing in the project. A key last point, just to finish-----
