The Deputy is wrong when he talks about a large chunk of the €3 billion not proceeding. The only thing that I said is not proceeding is the Coillte sale. The ESB sale is still possible but it is not appropriate now because there is due diligence happening. We are awaiting the report of the Competition Authority in the UK and we want to make sure it is strategically right.
