Mr. Noel Waters:

Initially it may have been of the order of 80%. There were further developments on this in respect of the Croke Park and Haddington Road agreements, which brought this back down to 70%. There were new arrangements about the various ratios between the different bands which were put in place. Does the Director General want to speak on that?
