I greatly welcome that and I thank Mr. Lacey for that clarification. It was my misapprehension that the Irish Maritime Development Office's initial view was that there were sufficient players in the market and that they could ratchet or ramp up their volumes. In fact, Mr. Lacey indicated on the last occasion that they could even switch vessels from the UK to continental markets if that was what the market demanded.
