Mr. Barry O'Connell:

Arup did not factor it in. We compared the estimates they made with the actual outcome and they were significantly off. That said, because it was a concern raised by the Minister, we did the following. First, we said it was out of date and things have changed. Second, we had the latest estimates from the Department of Finance so we looked at those. We also looked at OECD figures. Actually, Indecon looked at those. We did not look at them personally and wanted to get an objective view on it. We brought in Indecon and its brief was to give us an objective view on the latest data so we could see if we were right or wrong or what estimates we had to make.
