I just wanted to put that on record.

There was the supply and installation as what is known as a rotogate in the president's office. I would not consider that necessarily to be of personal benefit to the president. That is clear. Rotogate is apparently a type of turnstile and security device. I am not sure whether it was to do with keeping people out or keeping the president in. A sales company supplying rotogate devices indicates it "provides a prestigious yet secure access control solution". Can Dr. Neavyn explain why the installation of a rotogate to the tune of €3,933 would have been needed in the president's office? That amount represented extravagant expenditure for a device of that nature.
