I appreciate the Minister's confirmation that he has received the bid today. Will he tell the House who the bid is from? He is aware that in recent months Eir pulled out of the process, as did the SIRO consortium made up of the ESB and Vodafone, and we were left with one bidder, Enet. I understand that, prior to the break in the process, Enet was a consortium made up of SSE, the John Laing Group and Granahan McCourt Capital. Will the Minister confirm that this is the consortium that submitted the bid today?
