Mr. Tony O'Brien:

We are seeking to reach a position whereby nobody is outside 30 days. That would improve our cash position by approximately €20 million in a year. An inherent section of this value is tied up in the period of the preparation of the claim and its signing. We must also factor in a significant interval between submission of a claim and its being paid. The amount that can be produced in cash terms this year is the cumulative effect of improving the front end processing and turnaround times with consultants.
