We now have a situation where we now have to pay a levy for concrete products that are used by us here in this State but anything that is being exported across the water is not actually being charged with that levy any more. Let us charge those people who are already under serious pressure in respect of building. These exclusions are on the basis that this exclusion from the levy, more than likely, is going to impact most on the British market, that is, in England, which would be the beneficiary in respect of the export of precast concrete. Is that not the case?
