That is all. I did not give Dr. Byrne figures. I asked for his assessment of that type of an increase in three months, on an assessment that was carried out at SEAI's behest and under its instruction and paid for upfront yet it turned out that the grant was not a viable proposition after. The SEAI sent in its own contractors who gave him a 53% increase in cost, on the original assessment. So, I rest my case. The problem now is that Dr. Byrne is arguing over nothing and needs to look into this matter.
