I will briefly highlight what this breakdown does, notwithstanding the appropriate questions that will be raised about the nature of how this table is formatted and how we can come up with an accurate costing of this. It is to highlight the difference in costing between some counties. For example, in Kildare it averages more than €90 per night whereas in other counties, it is significantly less. From a public accounts perspective, it merits us having a further discussion about how services are procured in this area. We will meet them in due course and I look forward to having that opportunity to discuss it.
