With regard to the cost of €2.2 billion, my understanding is that there are claims of over €900 million. Again, realistically, we have to be prepared that the cost of the hospital is going to be in excess of €2.2 billion. Ultimately, some of these claims will be settled in the courts. I would like the Minister's view on the €2.2 billion. I assume, and I think we all need to be realistic here, that the figure is going to be higher than that.
