I have waylaid Mr. Breen. I will come back to costs in a moment. The State Claims Agency praises itself for the reduction. I see that on page 48 of the document and I will come to it.

The figure of €3.15 billion is because courts are giving higher awards in the small number of cases that go to court, but they set the precedent for the other cases. Are there higher awards? Is that what Mr. Breen is saying?
