Mr. Cathal Marley:
The borrowing is against the revenue of the company. People lend to a utility on the basis of the certainty of the revenue of the company. People lend to us because they can see the five-year regulatory price control and know there is a relative certainty on the revenue and they know the company will be able to pay back the money. The loan is not made on the basis of the assets.
