Ms Maria Graham:
What I have is the annual amount, which is about €124 million. Obviously, that is now the responsibility of Irish Water, in transferring the names of the DBOs under the statutory instrument. What I certainly do not have is how those liabilities were reflected in local authority accounts, but it is not a payment. It was one of the ongoing operational contracts that was transferred. It would be a matter for Irish Water to look at the duration of the DBOs.
