I am sorry; could the shareholders with €163.5 million not subsidise a bit of it? Does Ms Murdock get me? It is that piece in the middle. We are talking about empathy, businesses and profit. They do not mix in a pot. I know where Ms Murdock is coming from but people who are listening outside this House will have heard about the pool scheme. The Cathaoirleach read out a statement a while ago. Pooling the resources in Ireland for thatched homes will not work because the pot is too small. That idea has gone.
