Mr. John McCarthy:
Sorry, I just wish to clarify and give the full picture. There were certain local authorities that did end up in a surplus situation even after the self-funding of certain programmes. There is the other dimension that is available to all local authorities and is used in varying ways. Even the evolution of houses used is interesting over the last few years, in that the capacity to either increase or decrease the LPT by 15% is available to individual councils as well.
