Okay. At this stage, therefore, we do not know how much the connection fee will be or whether it is consistent with connection fees for other group water schemes in Mayo or the west. We would like to try to clear up how much the connection fee will be, what that connection fee will be made up of and for how long people have to pay for it. It was my understanding that the connection fee has to be agreed to and paid up. Off the top of my head, the latest one we dealt with was regarding the Murrisk water scheme in Mayo, where the majority of householders did not sign up or pay their fee. Therefore, the funding could not go ahead.
