There has been a thorough evaluation of the claims. The recommendation of €107 million or €108 million is strongly contested. The board will bring that to court if necessary. The view of the board is that it has a very strong case in that regard. The total amount that has been agreed against €863 million is €31 million. The Deputy will appreciate that I am not in a position to share the total provision, but significantly in excess of that amount is built into the €2.24 billion. My preference and, I think it is fair to say, that of BAM is that this would not get dragged out in the courts. The only people who win there are the lawyers.
