Nobody will know the answer until the sums are actually done. As I stated, there will be consultation around the counties to determine what exactly the authorities want to, need to and must do. The strands must be put together. When this is done, there will be a clear plan. The CER will put it out for consultation. If I were the Senator, I would be asking the relevant authorities to appear before the committee to explain this line by line. That is what they are prepared to do. They are prepared to consult, listen and be proactive. That is the position. If this occurs, we will all gain an understanding and be in a position to judge. That answers the question.
