Alan Kelly (Tipperary North, Labour) | Oireachtas source

Absolutely. I cannot speak on behalf of Siemens which made its own assumptions, and in this case I would say wrongly. I do not know; that is just my opinion. I do not know on what it based its assumptions. I have no idea. As part of an early round of public consultation, it made its decision to submit its letter, offering ideas and concepts. It made assumptions for that. I have no idea on what it based those assumptions. I have no information to suggest it based its assumptions on anything except itself and possibly another party with which it may have discussed putting forward this submission. In many cases I think its assumptions are wrong obviously. As the Deputy knows, I feel very strongly on the whole issue of public ownership. That is the bottom line.
