That is perfect. I have three final questions. The €70 million for Irish Water obviously arises out of the arrangements for design, build and operate contracts. Was any attempt made to introduce burden sharing or to look at the profits of the private operators? Is the State taking on the full extra cost of the increased utility charges or are the design, build and operate contractors taking on any of that extra cost themselves?
