I have one very small point of clarification, if I may. Obviously, in terms of using pre-existing poles and ducts, a subsidy would be paid for permission to pass the area. Eir owns the poles and the other consortium, if successful, will want to hang its cables on those poles and run its cables through the ducting underground. The consortium would pay Eir for the lease or rental. Is that correct?
