I will go on to my own questions. When you are the last speaker a lot of stuff has already been raised and there are also things that come up as part of the conversation. One of the things that really stood out to me was the mobilising of private capital that Ms Ní Bhriain mentioned earlier. She referred to the €150 billion that is being borrowed. That is borrowed money and I will go into the impact that this could have on local economies later. Will Ms Ní Bhriain elaborate on how this is being borrowed from capital markets and where it is being borrowed from? Will she also comment a bit more on what she said about mobilising private capital? It would be quite interesting.
