I want to ask Mr. Shanahan about ConnectIreland. It has been gone through quite a bit already. Mr. Shanahan was asked about the numbers. It is the companies that determine the numbers and I would not dispute that. Is there a length of time the job must have been in place for it to qualify? Does it have to be there for six months or 12 months to qualify as a job that was delivered under the scheme?

Is the dispute under way being worked through internally in IDA Ireland? Is there a timeline for the conclusion of that?
