Regarding the contract, was this foreseen? Some of my questions can only be addressed when we get answers on the numbers. Was it foreseen that there would be an overlap in some of these areas? I accept that at times NBI will build to get to the next area. Some places, if we are talking about a seven-year project, will become more viable for SIRO or Eir to build into, in particular in a first area. The major play that was made in the paper was that taxpayers could pay for NBI to build and duplicate or for NBI not to build at all and be paid. What allowances and leeway are there with the contract?
