I am not suggesting anything. I am just putting the fact on the table that it is 40% of the capital budget. I am not suggesting anything. The Deputy can see the way the figures were presented and they did not tally when I first read them. It read as if those payments would come from next year's budget. The witnesses have said it refers to the two years after year one, which I accept. I am just putting the facts out there. I am not suggesting the funding will come from anywhere else.

The capital commitments of €997 million already incurred as per the note and the €260 million included in the previous year's accounts bring a total of approximately €1.25 billion. I do not expect the witnesses to have a breakdown now but can they provide it for the €1.257 billion, including contractual commitments entered into?
