Okay, yes, if you could.

Returning to Mr. McCarthy on the numbers, I understand there is an EU directive in terms of assisting and we must play our part in that. In terms of the ratio of the number we are coping with per thousand of population at present, how does that compare with the other EU states? I am aware that Poland has done huge work. Its GDP per head of population would be fairly low. It would not be counted as a rich country. It is a big country with a large population, but not a rich country. They have performed well. I think it has taken 3.5 million. I saw a figure for Poland. In terms of the other EU states, how do we fair in comparison to France and others?
