No. There is a particular number of households and premises in the intervention area.. We know this. We have been over it for the past five or six years. We now know there are two sums of money - one is the State or taxpayer subsidy of €2.6 billion or €2.7 billion and the other is private sector investment of approximately 9% or 10% of that figure. What has NBI calculated is the cost per premises in terms of the overall cost of the scheme? That is what will count.
