Mr. John O'Dwyer:

It is also worth mentioning that, in that concession agreement, the Government re-tendered it. The first contract came to its natural conclusion and the Government re-tendered it correctly through the public procurement process. BT won the contract a second time and that is just starting. It did go through the re-tender stage, as required.
