The clerk might ask for that.

Regarding Storm Éowyn and the impact of all that - I am putting my final two questions in one - I get what was said earlier and I take it on board but could Mr. Malone outline what kind of resilience changes NBI has made? This is going to end for NBI. It is one of these projects where we will get to an exhaustive point. What is the legacy resilience as regards where we will be at that stage and how will it be managed going forward? The first question relates to the difference. I am convinced that every year we are going to be facing storms a couple times a year and they are probably going to get worse. What is the difference between last year and this year? Once NBI sails off into the sunset or sails off somewhere with our thanks, from a legacy point of view, what will be left behind and how will the resilience be maintained?
