John Gormley (Dublin South East, Green Party)

That is not correct. The contractor is not going back on site. That would be unthinkable, frankly, given what we now know. I am not trying to divert by talking about the sub-contract, but I am telling the Deputy that that genuinely is an issue. It is not the contractor who is going back; it is the people who are conducting the analysis.

Deputy Lynch asked how long it will take. I hope that it will take approximately five weeks to do the job properly. He also asked about the cost. This is a guesstimate. I would say it would cost over €20,000 to have that sort of analysis done.
