Yes, I get that, and that is fair. I just wanted to understand in general terms. If 93% of people who work for Irish Water are getting performance-related pay for their performance, I just wanted to understand where the company saw that performance being. I ask this question because one of the biggest things we hear about regarding housing concerns delays in Irish Water connections to housing and one of the biggest reasons Irish Water got so much money in the recent budget was that Irish Water, on the front of The Irish Times, in a really good PR campaign, said it did not have enough money to meet the cost of connections to the houses coming down the road or that we want to build as part of the housing targets.

I just want to go back to the housing connection issues because, in fairness, I do not think the question was answered. How many houses did Irish Water connect in 2024?
