Mr. John McDonagh:
When we looked the last time, it was in and around €32,000 per kilometre. This is going back a couple of years ago. At that point, we were below the average of our comparator set, in some cases by factors of two or three times. Relatively speaking, therefore, our spend on our canals is significantly lower than comparators in other countries, particularly in Europe.
