Mr. Cathal Masterson:
The Chair is right. There is also an assessment of potential benefits, particularly for PPPs. Generally speaking, the more complicated schemes are schemes like tunnels or iconic bridges. They can typically be built more quickly and typically have a better transition from the construction phase into the operations phase. It is all encompassed within that contract. The handover from construction to operation is done within the bounds of the contract. They would typically have a better track record on asset management and maintenance.
