Then EUROSTAT dictates the rules of the Irish balance sheet as to what is on or off balance sheet. We will not even go there with Irish Water. We will check through the CSO and EUROSTAT whether they happy not to include any amounts from companies that owe redundancy and insolvency payments on the State's balance sheet. I am intrigued to hear that. If that is the way EUROSTAT operates, it is looking after the big corporations well again. That is all I will say.
