I was going with unregistered. Unregistered was €3.10 in 2021. It has gone up to €3.50 in 2023. That is a 40 cent increase. That is a 13% increase between the two years. In one year it has gone from €3.20 to €3.50, which is a 30 cent increase. That is 10%. I expect that when TII saw those figures, it must have been aware that it was a significant increase. The other public private partnerships have gone up from €1.90 for cars in 2021 to €2.10. Another 10 cent has been added for 2023. That is a 5% increase between 2022 and 2023, and it was an 11% increase between the two years. I refer to all the talk of Ukraine, the cost-of-living crisis, people under enormous pressure coming out of Covid, and the cost of living as a serious issue on the ground, particularly with the cost of fuel. Am I correct in saying that the public private partnerships come to the TII on an annual basis looking for an increase?
