Mr. David Gunning:

I agree that that is what the contractor maintains. I absolutely refute and rebut that. Just to be clear on the numbers, the contract value is €910 million. We have agreed that, as I have indicated, there is an additional €50.5 million that currently is crystalised in relation to that, so that can be added. That is the current liability on the project. Regarding the escalation, the vast amount of any increase is due to extension of time and the fact that the timeline has gone on. When the contract was signed to complete to project or, more specifically, when the phase B instruction was issued instructing the contractor to proceed with phase B in January of 2019, the project was to take 46 months to complete. It should have completed in August 2022. That was the time. We are now a considerable number of months beyond that and that has to be paid for. In the development board's case, we have to pay for our design team and the development board which is in the order of €2 million per month. This continues to increase the costs relating to the project.
