We walked over the area of the granite and I think it is 60 sq. m. From the figures that we see here that works out as €800 per sq. m and yet if you go online you can see Wicklow granite paving for about €200 per sq. m. My point is that we need to have internal checks and balances in relation to external contractors who, in fairness to them, are profit-generating organisations who are charging us.

Finally, and I know I am running out of time, there is a lot of detail here about the costs and yet some of the costs are quite hidden. Day works have been mentioned. Is it possible for us to find out the labour cost per hour for day works? I ask because I cannot work out what day works actually means in terms of the cost per labour unit. There is another issue at the end of that. Preliminaries looks like an additional 10% cost. What exactly does that mean? I refer to the granite landscaping. Again, there is talk about supply and install. Can Mr. Conlan separate the labour content from that so we can get a clear understanding of all of those costs?
