Yes. What I am saying, however, is that there are very serious conclusions drawn from this very short report. I think it is important that there are not too many nuances. Obviously, you have to have certain assumptions in any paper but the assumptions just seem to point towards a headline of €20 billion.
I want to go through some other specifics here on pensions. The report increases all pensions to southern level at a cost of €3.8 billion per year. This includes work-based pensions, which are obviously occupational pensions, which might not be supplemented by the government of a united Ireland.
