Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

Therefore, the average interest we have to pay back - there is no average patient because they are all individuals - is approximately €27. The average balance across the second quarter of those patient accounts was approximately €2,400. We have to pay back an average of approximately €280 for those patients. The average balance across the third quarter of those patient accounts over the four-year period was approximately €6,500. These are rough figures.
