Ms Clare McGrath:
This is where the actual savings made were a matter for the contracting authority, the ultimate State buyer. We are advising that, based on our looking at meters and usage, people are on the wrong tariffs. We advise them that they could be on lower tariffs, but they are their contracts with the suppliers so they have to follow up on that. We have had difficulty getting that information. Based on what we had, and our expertise, our analysis was that it was in that order. Was it realised? That was dependent, and I would have presumed all of them were exercised to get that saving, to give effect to changing the tariff. It is not done centrally because these are 24,000 individual meters.
