On a separate topic, I read a piece last week in one of the newspapers on funding for TII that has been impacted by something in the order of €100 million this year because of lower income in a complicated way, but related to traffic volumes on toll roads. Does Mr. Llewellyn have a concern in relation to that? Does that affect, in a real way, TII's bottom line? Is the organisation compensated in an way in relation to it? Does Mr. Llewellyn have a comment on the business model that operates in that way? Obviously, there has been criticism from some quarters of the public private partnership, PPP, models. We are moving into a period where we will see big investment in projects. I presume consideration will be given to the type of model is used to deliver them. Perhaps Mr. Llewellyn could comment on the funding position of TII and the impact of Covid.
