Mr. Maurice Buckley:

The reason the Minister of State and I do not have an accurate figure is because the works are not complete. I was with the Minister of State on this morning's tour of the works with the Houses of the Oireachtas. The architects were able to explain to us that they had been through nearly 90% of the house and have uncovered the various issues. They have reduced the risk to very little. The Minister of State referred to the chimneys, which still have to be fully investigated. When that is done we will, know the timescale and the costs.
