Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:
When answering questions on the schools remediation process we need to be conscious of the fact that we are at quite an advanced stage in the legal process, with two cases before the Commercial Court and proceedings served in relation to another 38 schools. A procurement process relating to some of the remaining work is under way. I will answer the question precisely. The latest figures available, which refer to overall costs to the end of the second quarter of 2020, are €89.9 million excluding VAT and €104.1 million including VAT.
