Before we move on to that, I want to cover this because it is technical, and all marketing people do their best to sell what the technical people give them. Does NBI have a plan in place to extrapolate data it already has on the timing from initial survey through to construction and ultimate connection? Is it doing that modelling and extrapolating it over a wider geographic base? By the middle of next year, it should be possible for individuals to enter their Eircodes and get an indication that they are within six, nine or 12 months from being dealt or if it is going to be later that - even if it is 2023, 2024 or 2025 - it might get better. That would be very helpful in addressing the needs of the people we try to represent.
