Mr. John McCarthy:

The bills started to go out during the first week of April. I think it was 6 April. It was over an eight to nine-week period before all the bills went out and there is a normal 14-day credit period after that. We are now coming to the point at which some useful information can be gleaned from the totality of that first billing cycle. Irish Water is doing some work on that. I understand it will be considered by its board within the next week or so and we will have some information after that.
