Yes, but the Department at that point was taking three cases to the High Court on a point of law and then got advice from senior counsel that, in fact, we could lose those cases. The 512 cases in which people appealed related to three homes, St. Michael's, Cheeverstown House and the Daughters of Charity. They were paid, so €20 million was made available for those 512 applicants who appealed the decision and they got paid. Is that correct?
