It was as one would expect. I do not know whether any more recent information is available. I think they are waiting until the 80% mark is reached before they run the numbers. It was clear that most people were agreeing to pay. The level of deferrals, which we had expected to be 15% or 16%, was coming in at less than 2%. Files have to be returned in respect of exempt properties as well. We will not know until we are near the end whether we will receive the return of €250 million for this year and double that for next year.
