Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael)

I have two simple questions which will take me 30 seconds. I will get the answer in two words if the Minister obliges me. First, in the briefing note from the Minister's Department, it states very clearly that, despite this increase, it was clear to the Department from the start of the year that SEI was going to be challenged on capital funding in 2007. Does the Minister stand over that statement?

My second question relates to MANs. Does the Minister intend to effectively sell them to a post-Eircom entity and agree to higher technology prices as a result?
