Okay, that is fine. If Mr. Griffin could provide a note on that, it would be much appreciated.

I will now turn to the NBP, which we have discussed previously at the committee. I understand the deployment plan is 12 months behind schedule. Delving into that further, fines of €135,000 were issued in respect of build delays. I gather from what Mr. Griffin said in his opening statement, some of that is related to Covid-19 and other issues. A performance sanction of €22,500 was also issued. Performance reports for subsequent periods indicate that further sanctions may arise. Have the sanctions that were levied been paid? How many others have arisen since this report?
