During their appearance at the committee the farmers claimed two of the three farms had asbestos in their buildings. At the time of the committee's discussions, we were told the Department was looking to cap that at €50 per square metre. Will the Department confirm whether it is sticking to that figure and if the additional costs involved in asbestos removal, transportation and disposal have been taken into account? Like I said, I have experience with that kind of thing and €50 per square metre does not wash with me.
