Yes. It is confusing but at least we are getting an overall picture. We know from the Comptroller and Auditor General that the HAP payment doubled to €300 million from one year to another and will increase to €431 million or €451 million next year.

That is where the difficulty is. Another difficulty is the amount of money being sent through these schemes to the private market.
