The review will be done towards the end of the year. There is a contract. We can do reviews on any contract we have, and we should do reviews to monitor policy and contracts. The contract stands.
If Sinn Féin is in government next year, the contract stands and it will have to honour it or pay pretty massive compensation to any company whose contract it would choose to cancel. The Deputy should bear that in mind. It would be interesting if one of the first acts of a Sinn Féin Government would be to pay hundreds of millions of euro to a private company.
