We had representatives from that profession before the committee yesterday and we heard from them as well. If we get and process all that data, hopefully we will get improved transparency on the insurance industry with respect to what it is saying versus, for example, the letters Aviva is sending out detailing the cost of whiplash claims. My argument regarding whiplash awards, albeit that the average award here is €15,000 compared to €5,000 in the UK, is that they have always been €15,000 here and €5,000 in the UK.
