Mr. Bernard Byrne:
Deferred tax is part of our capital structure. If we did not have a deferred tax asset, we would have to have incremental capital from another source which would have been the State. It is likely that if we did not have deferred tax, we would have other capital from the State. I do not think the sum is quite as straightforward.
