I will but I would just like to comment on this. I met some of those workers when I was in Galway and I gave a very clear commitment that they were eligible so long as they were in hospital during those dates. I did not realise that, Senator. It is frustrating to hear because I met them and told them and the hospital very clearly that they were eligible and that they needed to be paid like everybody else. We have paid out €208 million, which is fantastic. We do not hear from the people who have been paid, obviously. We hear from the people who have not been paid. I will take that back immediately as I gave a personal commitment to those workers when I met them in Galway.
