Okay, it is not for sale at the moment. In terms of ESB and the power stations, when the roof is missing, I believe one must sell assets to put the roof back on the house because otherwise one will lose the house. I welcome the repatriation of funds from abroad to invest in this country, which is badly needed. I hope we will get the full value of the two power stations we are selling abroad. Has any work been done on how many power stations will be sold? Is the intention to sell off a certain amount of generating capacity?
