Okay. Ms McGrath obviously has provided the committee with the cost of the office in the then Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, at approximately €205,000. How much of that cost does Ms McGrath think was attributable to the fact the building was a protected structure? While I appreciate the difficulty Ms McGrath has in making comparisons, members must also try to make comparisons. How much of the bill for the provision of that ministerial suite of offices is Ms McGrath able to attribute to additional works or efforts to which the OPW was obliged to go because it is a protected structure?
