Mr. John Nevin:
That is a question above my pay grade. I cannot answer it at present. The businesses I know of doing business there are working with the Asian Investment Bank. It is being funded through that bank which, as a rule, would mean it is going to be more ethically correct in its approach. Denis O'Brien tried to win a contract out there and did not succeed but still went ahead to build the pylons and so on. There was an element of goodwill towards the work he was doing there, even though Digicel did not win the telecoms contract there.
