Mr. John Conlon:

I emphasise that the contract for the measured term maintenance contract was an open contract that was competitively tendered in the appropriate and proper way. It was evaluated and awarded in the proper way. I need to emphasise that because I do not want to get sucked into any political discussion on this. It was a contract which we procured in full accordance with the Office of Government Procurement guidelines. It was properly evaluated and awarded. As I said earlier, there are two contractors in the Dublin region, one for the north and one for the south. That is all I can say on that.
