Mr. John O'Connor:

Yes. From the local authority's perspective, the repayment of that loan is being funded from central government funds. On the 36 sites, in terms of immediate development, 32 of them have been built out or there are plans in progress for them. On the remainder of the sites, for a number of them there are feasibility or other plans in place to develop them. The others are more long-term in terms of appropriate use of them.
