Mr. T.J. Malone:

The survey is the key thing for us. When we go out to do a survey, we identify the amount of work that needs to be done. In the area to which the Deputy referred, we needed to put in stand-off chambers. If we survey an existing Eir chamber and there is not enough room to locate our equipment within it, we have to build what we call a stand-off chamber - a chamber beside the existing chamber - into and out of which we can bring cables and in which we can locate our equipment. All of that has already been factored into our costs. Ours is a fixed-price contract with the State. All of those matters have been factored in. As Mr. Hendrick alluded to, in the first three deployment areas that have been completed, we are able to go back and check to see that we are coming in on budget in the context of what we predicted. The work that was done upfront early on is now paying dividends. As the Deputy quite rightly said, there is a significant amount of work involved. We estimate that somewhere in the region of 12% to 14% of the infrastructure required for this project will be new, whether it is poles, chambers, ducting or whatever.
