I think it will not be lost on people, given all of the other controversies that UL has been embroiled in, the lack of due diligence and all of those issues that I touched on, including significant loss of money to the taxpayer, and all the issues highlighted in the Comptroller and Auditor General's report, that Professor Kilcommins is saying he cannot put a final cost on something. That says to me that due diligence was not carried out at the outset. I have been told that it will ultimately cost between €20 million and €30 million to get a student portal system 100% in place. Are those figures accurate?
