Mr. Tomás O'Midheach:

First, it needs to be determined in the quantum hearing as to whether we will make that payment and whether the resolution is between the publicans and the Government or ourselves and the Government. The Minister of State at the Department of Finance, Deputy Fleming, has made it very clear that in the event that we do not pay the subsidy to the publicans, he will engage in a mechanism by which he will seek to recover that money from the insurance companies.
