We will ask for information on the Clontibret project. On the Portlaoise-Cullahill M7-M8 scheme, we received detailed figures from the TII in regard to the costs to the agency to date and the projected costs by the end of the contract. TII has paid €83 million to the company to date, and €173 million has been collected in tolls. The figure we do not have is what the construction cost for that phase of the motorway was. I ask the secretariat to include that in the list of questions to the TII. We have fairly good information on the M7-M8 project, but what we do not have and which is the missing piece is the construction costs to the company that built it. What were the overall costs?

The next item is correspondence No. 1121, which was flagged for discussion by Deputies Munster and Catherine Murphy, from Mr. John McKeon, Secretary General, Department of Social Protection, dated 8 March 2022. It provides further information requested by the committee regarding the steps and timeline of the Department’s investigation into contractors engaged by RTÉ.
