Mr. Cowen, can we come back to the root of the question, and I do afford you time and all the rest of it, but the root of Deputy O'Donnell's question is to do with cyclical nature of the budgets and where they were actually in place. So, if I could ask you to reframe the question if necessary, Deputy O'Donnell, just let me finish, and to focus in on the specific area and we'll get that dealt with and we'll move on to the next question. Deputy O'Donnell.
