Mr. Garret Doocey:
We will probably have to come back to the Deputy on the specifics of that. There is a huge cost involved in any mega project, whether it is MetroLink, DART or BusConnects, from the conceptual stage to the construction stage. There is a massive cost in terms of the planning, design, environmental compliance, etc. We can try to come back to the Deputy with the specific breakdown of what element of that cost, which will always be incurred, is being incurred through consultancy versus in-house. I will try to come back to him.
