Mr. Paul Benson:

In relation to the carryover, at that meeting five or six weeks ago we made commitments that those properties should be dealt with. Commitments were made and they should be dealt with so we expect that will happen. We have also asked Cork City Council to carry out two or three exercises that will create headroom within its allocation to allow it to proceed with further acquisitions.
