I am familiar with it, yes. Turning to Mr. Tierney, the Minister, Deputy Michael McGrath published the inflation co-operation framework in early May to ensure the viability of projects. I think everybody would say the national children's hospital is beyond that point of viability. It is unlikely the contractor would walk away from the entire project at this time. The question is on how the conversation I just had with Mr. Gunning interacts with the announcement of the inflation co-operation framework in terms of the public expenditure element of this. How are we going to meet this €50 million to possibly €100 million?
