Ms Laura Burke:
This is why I refer to a split. The overall company guarantee has gone down from €28 million to €25 million. The sum of €14 million is for a particular part of the site, namely, the bauxite residue disposal area. The decrease from €28 million to €25 million is because it is an operational site and remediation of this bauxite residue disposal area, RDA, is ongoing as it fills up. Money is being spent on remediation as time passes and that is assessed regularly.
