Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:
We do not sign up based on that. We sign up based on a single price. The bidders make that up. We do a public sector benchmark which works out what the equivalent would be. We have a process of publishing the public sector benchmarks seven years after they are done up. It would impact on competition to do so sooner. We were the first ones to publish a public sector benchmark and it is our plan to continue with public sector benchmarks.
