It does. I will continue. We are talking about a charge of €160, less the €100 from the State. Now, the customer can think of the bottom line. At the end of the first year, the water will cost the person €60. The meter has been installed and the customer could establish that even based on the meter reading, the volume of water would really only cost €60, so he or she could be due another €100 refund from Irish Water. The customer would have €100 from Irish Water and from the State, amounting to €200, while the customer only paid €160. The customer would be up €40. It is phenomenal.
