Of the 210 redeployment opportunities in rewetting and rehabilitation of Bord na Móna lands at the moment, we have heard that there are negotiations ongoing with the European Commission. That is around an enhancement beyond what the company needs to do as per the Environment Protection Agency, EPA, baseline. Is it the intention that regardless of how protracted the European Commission negotiations might be on that PSO, those 210 workers will be kept in employment long enough to fulfil the company's initial EPA obligations to allow enhanced rehabilitation funding to come online?
