It might be useful, as another Deputy requested, if the witnesses could provide us with the correspondence relating to that. The difficulty is that each side will be complex. The last time I spoke about this with Mr. Conlon, I raised our experience, dating back to when Deputy Kelly was a Minister, with the rapid-build sites in Finglas and Ballymun. At the time, everybody did what everybody does with rapid builds. They took the unit cost - you can buy it off the shelf - multiply it by the number of units and stated that was what the cost would be. In reality, however, site works are a significant factor. Does Mr. Conlon accept that the figure that went to Cabinet, or the initial outline for this figure, was woefully and inadequately estimated?
