What you are saying, essentially, is this. Thirty-four million euro has been paid to date - €32.6 million by the judge, and there was interest that he got in addition, plus the developer's portion of legal fees that have been submitted so far, and a portion of fees from the Chief State Solicitor's office, which brings the sum up to €34 million paid out to date. However, €17 million was the original valuation of the site at its best. You are explaining to me now that the extra €17 million was really compensation for loss of income to Mr. Durkan because he could not get vacant possession to develop his property and earn rent from it during the earlier years. Is that it?
