Okay. Going back to some of the questions about affordability and arrears, and the €300,000 or €301,000 in arrears on electricity bills and €183,000 in arrears on gas bills, the CRU annual paper on protection measures warned that the withdrawal of the electricity credits could see a spike in the number of households in arrears this winter. In how many meetings with the Minister this year was there a discussion about the withdrawal of energy credits, or were there any meetings?
