I might take the opportunity to put some questions to Waterways Ireland on by-law 25. I ask Mr. Harkin to explain to us what that is. The view is that the extended mooring permit, EMP, has increased the €126 fee for an unserviced site to €254. It is alleged that there is a €300 service charge in Grand Canal Dock, which is not set out in the schedule of charges, and that an EMP is not set out in the schedule of charges. I hope I have posed those questions in an understandable format. Can Waterways Ireland shine some light on this matter for us? I do not understand it. It would be very helpful for the committee to hear an explanation.
