Okay. In response to Deputy Ó Snodaigh's question about the commercial rights, we can decide to keep them outside the company to get the best return. The option to keep it outside the company is available if we think there could be a better return. However, I am not making any judgments on that. I suppose that answers Deputy Ryan's question as well. I am not making any judgments on what decision will be made. For good reason, we have got the option to bid for the rights. We do not have to take it if we do not want the risk. It is going to be a purely commercial decision taken by people who will be in a position to judge whether it is to our advantage. It may be right or wrong like all commercial decisions, but at least we have got that particular option. That is probably all.
