As Mr. Gunning has agreed, it is binding and the conciliator has recommended €108 million. I understand what Mr. Gunning is saying, namely, that the board is going to fight this and that, ultimately, the courts will decide on all of these claims. The conciliator looked at the evidence and all of the information from the board and decided, as part of a partial claim on what are delays, that €108 million was recommended for BAM. I am homing in on that for this reason. Mr. Gunning says that the big part of the problem in relation to the delay in the project is that BAM is not adequately resourcing the project. Is that Mr. Gunning's main contention? BAM is not putting feet on the ground.
