The reason I say this - it may be a small thing - is that when somebody comes before a committee and says there is 100% funding, that really annoys many people because the likes of that woman are sitting at home knowing they will not be able to rebuild their homes. It is €80,000. She is not going to get that money. There is no finance available from banks.
It really annoys people.
Let me move on to another issue. In his opening statement, Mr. Rafferty mentioned the assessment being carried out by the NSAI on the standard, which is the core of all this. He said GSI research partners are expected to complete their task in quarter 4 of this year or quarter 1 of next year. Could he clarify whether that is just the GSI part?
