I will give a short answer before I ask Mr. John O'Donoghue, who has been involved on the legal side, to give a more detailed answer. The short answer is that the cost will be €10 per year for the next 300 years. There are conditions on that. The conditions are that we, the State, remain as the tenant running healthcare services there. By agreement, that can be changed but essentially once we are running our hospital on the site, that is that. There is a condition that we do not look to acquire freehold ownership of the site. We are entering into an agreement on a leasehold ownership basis. That is securing that in times to come, this will still be a maternity hospital providing great care. I will ask Mr. O'Donoghue to come in and add to that.
