Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

The conditions in the contracts set out exactly what it had to publish. It had to publish all products and prices and these are all benchmarked to the regulatory product set on prices. There is a great amount of transparency. It is on its website and it holds industry forums with 50 operators at the moment. That is a requirement in its contract where it has to sit down with the operators at least once a month to explain everything to them.
