I have one final question for Mr. McGarr because my time is up. Given that we have moved now from a 99-year to a 150-year to a 299-year lease and there is an options agreement within the legal framework that, under certain circumstances, allows for the HSE to force the sale of the land, clearly the door is open. They have somewhat opened the door to ownership. Is there any legal reason that St. Vincent's Healthcare Group or the holdings company cannot simply gift the land to the State?
