Mr. Derek Moran:

It is happening at the moment. If we look at the Exchequer borrowing requirement for this year, there is a big spike in it and the reason is that we are borrowing State money at cheaper rates to redeem the commercial Irish Water loans so there has been a massive tidying up and a greater bringing of transparency on that over the last two years.
