That is correct and a fair summary of it. That goes back to the Deputy's earlier question to me on whether further action would be merited in relation to it. As I have said, it is not the intention of these supports that were brought in to subsidise the level of insurance payments that are being made. However, these are issues that need to be considered in the context of the point he opened up with, namely, that these payments and their execution have saved the domestic economy.
