Mr. Peter Hendrick:
The costs of the bid were just over €32 million, which would have included having 80 to 100 people working on a bid for four years, with financial, commercial, legal and technical advisers designing and planning for the network roll-out. The costs were comparable to the Department's own costs during that process.
