Mr. Maurice Quinn:
That is correct. When it came to the specific contract about which we are speaking, the first task was to establish the scope of works required to extend the life of our armoured personnel carrier fleet. What we are doing is up-armouring them, improving the protections against explosive ordinands, changing the weapon station and improving the manoeuvrability of them.
