I thank the witness. My other question relates to costs. The expert group recommendation is that we do not bill households for individual bill charges. In order to feed into the committee's work, will the witnesses give a breakdown of the cost of the billing cycle, the reading of meters, sending out the bills, the revenue collection process, and the costs of the tender for selecting the debt collection agency? We also need the costs for operating the call centre. We need a breakdown of those figures because it would have an impact on the ongoing savings that could be achieved from cancelling the project. Do the Irish Water representatives have those figures to hand or can they provide them to us?
