Mr. Garret Doocey:
We will come back on the specifics. Similar to the credit issue Deputy Boland raised and the penalty, which is the flipside of the same coin the Cathaoirleach has raised, we will come back on the specifics. Obviously the contract had milestones in it but the contract would have also have had - I have no doubt, and we can confirm this - the fact that all, or some, of the milestones were subject to passing the safety compliance testing period, particularly the entrance to service. This is a requirement of EU and Irish domestic law. We will come back with the specifics.
