Okay. I want to clarify a point raised about the subvention. Regarding the figure for subventions over 2014, 2015 and 2016, as outlined, what mechanism is in place to audit how that is dealt with once it is paid over? Mr. McCarthy said the Department is buying the allowances, so to speak, that are being given by Irish Water. How does it quantify that? Does it get a list of household names, addresses and PPS numbers?
