Mr. Mark Griffin:
No. One of the key considerations for us was to provide certainty to the market in its totality. I can assure the Deputy, irrespective of any pressure that may have been put on, and there was none in this case, our only objective was to ensure that whatever deal emerged from the decision around extend or re-tender was to the benefit of the State and nobody else.
