Officials said the cost of outside consultants was about 6% of the total cost. The Minister of State gave a figure of €3.22 million in regard to the delivery of the contract and gave other figures of €1.2 million. If €3.2 million is 6% of the overall budget, it would equate to a budget of over €50 million. Figures have been bandied around. For clarification, can the Minister of State confirm that every cent being used by the State to produce the Eircode postcodes leads to a grand total of €27 million? Are other costs not showing up?
