Moving on to the topic of the site at Aughinish, I went through the information regarding the figures. I want to try to deal with the relevant issues. According to the correspondence, a sum of €14 million was identified in December 2016 for new financial provisions. On 16 January 2017, a figure of €28 million was mentioned in a letter from the EPA or issued via the Department. What is the fund that is ring-fenced for what the EPA terms "closure, restoration and aftercare management plans" or CRAMP? Is that the correct term?
