Mr. Griffin can see why it is difficult for the ordinary person listening to that, particularly after spending 2.5 years here, which is a small amount of time compared with the Chair or former members. It seems like a sentence every Thursday. Every Thursday we are faced with something. This is the first time we are looking forward a tiny bit. Mr. Ó hÓbáin can tell me if I am wrong with my interpretation and it is too simplistic. We give a subsidy to this entity to design, build, operate, maintain and own for 25 years with an option to extend for ten years. Built into the contract is that we will buy it back if they do not want to keep going. Am I wrong? Which part of that is wrong?
