There are issues about the manner in which the UK authorities were informed. I understand there was a leak to one of the business newspapers and this caused much difficulty. The additional amount in respect of Ireland is small enough and we will pay it on the date because we are familiar with the rules and their basis. We understand the UK now has a difficulty, some of it political, and if this difficulty can be resolved on the basis of the timeline, I will not object to it.
