Yes, there have been numerous talks. They have dispute resolution mechanisms which no doubt the Deputy is familiar with. I can ask Mr. Tierney to explain them if that is useful. Numerous talks and rounds of talks have taken place and, as the Deputy referenced, claims can be escalated to the courts if everyone continues to dispute them. There is a significant number of claims with a significant price tag attached to them. We do not know what the ultimate outcome will be but the board is working hard to ensure it is as small a number as possible. Is it of use for me to ask Mr. Tierney to clarify-----
