Mr. Ciarán Breen:
Yes, we do. We have an actuarial firm which carries out a very detailed look at our current data. The actuaries look at our settlement patterns, for example, things like the period from incident creation date to finalisation of claims. They have their own logarithms which tell them what they think the likely budget is in any particular year on a global basis. Obviously, the really big one here is the one for the HSE. We furnish that to the HSE on an annual basis. We say, based on what our actuaries tell us, what amount we think the HSE should set aside in terms of what will be required.
