Mr. Mark Flanagan:
The stakeholders make up most of the rest of that money. It is dependent on them. That is a big request to them to continually invest. They are as committed as we are and they are behind us but it is a lot to ask them to invest each year. The returns do not come back. France is giving €192,000 but that is conditional on us getting €288,000, otherwise the Irish economy loses that €192,000.
