Okay. I thank Mr. Cody for that. I want to turn to debt warehousing. Mr. Cody said 57,811 customers with €1.75 billion owed money under the debt warehousing scheme. Two thirds of those customers have a low balance of under €1,000 but there are far more significant cases with almost 3,120 customers owing over €100,000. I note there was a significant reduction in debt levels between July and December 2023. How was this achieved? What element of write-off, if any, has there been in that figure?
