Mr. David Moloney:

Following that, we asked the National Development Finance Agency, NDFA, to examine the issue and report back to us. The NDFA has told us that the case against the Spanish companies is under appeal and that at least one of the companies has been granted a stay of the resolution which suspends the administrative sanctions that were initially imposed. Because the directive, or regulations, only allow us to consider excluding bidders under certain criteria, we actually have to see that resolution being finalised before we consider excluding them. The NDFA is working with the tenderers, the people putting projects out to tender, in order to work through those issues. Under the legislation, it is quite restrictive.
