I am going to ask the Shannon Lakes and Rivers Group to talk about fees. Arising from its contribution and in tandem with what has been undertaken with the dispute resolution mechanism, I would hope its representatives here would offer us what the group feels is an amenable fee structure. The groups has done tremendous work on this. We need to find a middle ground at the end of the day. It is running a business. Boat users are its customers and we have to listen to them and take on board what they are saying. I will switch to Mr. Finnegan. Will he outline an acceptable fee proposal for users of the River Shannon and lakes?
