Mr. John McCarthy:

We actually have a profile in the budget documentation as to what the average interest rate will be between now and the remainder of the decade. As has been mentioned, it is approximately 3.5% at present but it will fall to 3% by the end of the decade. If I recall correctly, within this document, which I can make available to the Deputy, we also have the funding profile, the debt maturity profile over the next couple of years, so that is available.
